I got mine at a NAPA auto parts store but they should be available wherever
pneumatic tools are sold.

I guess you're talking about a toolroom grinder. ^They generally don't have
a guard, so be sure to wear eye protection. Those thin cutoff wheels break
easily.

Call it what you already have. They'll understand; it's not like we all
use the same title for the same thing. I usually call them cutoff wheels,
and call the shaft a cutoff wheel shaft. Be sure to specify what shaft size
the collet is as well as the wheel hole size, there's a couple different
sizes, although I'm starting to think that there's some sort of relation to
the max speed and the hole size, but never looked into it.

Ask for a mandrel with 1/4" shaft that will mount wheels with 1/4"
holes. You might also want to get one that fit the more
readily-available 3" wheels with 3/8" holes.

If you have a friend with a lathe, it only takes about 15 minutes to
make something like that. All of my various mandrels are shop-made.

Be sure the wheels you use are rated for the RPM rating of the grinder. I
have some wheels rated for 15,000 RPM and a MET grinder that turns 25,000. I
keep these on opposite sides of the shop.

The packages I see are usually labeled "Cutting wheel arbor 1/4in" or
something like that.
