The shaft on a bench grinder is threaded to hold a grinding wheel, not

shaft isn't threaded to draw up on the thin wheel.

How do most people mount the thinner brush-wheel on the smooth
unthreaded zone of the shaft?

Best be sure your bench grinder has low enough RPM's to match the safety
rating of said wire wheel, particularly critical if you don't have the
proper flanges.

Do you like your eyes? Wear safety goggles & a face shield before you
switch it on.

Just saying.

And never walk barefoot near the grinder with wire wheel. They
throw lots of little wires, which are miserable to try to get out
of your feet. I know from experience.
