Default Motor shaft adapter

Does anyone sell motor shaft adapters?
I have a disk grinder with 5/8" bore but most motors sold on eBay have bigger shaft
diameter.
Is there any motor shafts adapters out there? I did search on google but found nothing.

Thanks

I need an adapter that has bore 1, 3/4 or 7/8 and has a 5/8" shaft.

McMaster only has adapters to make bigger shafts smaller. I need the other way around.

Thanks

How about making your own?
.... or, have someone with a lathe make it for you?
It's not a very complicated project.
I'm sure it can be made in less than 30 minutes.

Buy the bigger sleeve and screw or braze in the rod.

How about getting the best buy you can on a motor, taking it apart,
taking the rotor to someone with a lathe and turning the end of the
shaft down to 5/8". Should take about 5 minutes, and no extra parts needed.

If you talk nice to a shop instructor at a local technical high school
you gould probably get it done for just a "thank you" faster than you
can say Jill Robinson.
