M14-2 right angle grinder arbor. Where to get wheels 7"-9"
I just got a deal on ebay. Bought a huge 22 amp bosch angle grinder with a
cut cord. Repaird the cord and it works great. I have never used an angle grinder this big. Problem is: bosch tells me it was sold across the pond (UK) and no parts or info is available. No problem, I just need wire cups and grinding wheels for it. I have fabricated a spanner wrench for it and can now mount 7/8" hole wheels, which nobody here stocks but can order. I see Grainger has some cup wheels that are multi-fit 5/8-11 or M14-2 so that may work for that. Does anyone know of any other sources for wheels/ cup brushes? Ebay did not turn up anything. Can anyone across the water give a name of a supplier? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Lyndell ( Louisville KY area) |

The older Bosch grinders were metric- I cant believe they no longer stock the metric lock nuts for holding on a wheel. The Bosch grinders are all set up for hubless grinding wheels- which is not to say you cant use one with a threaded insert, but any standard hubless grinding or sanding disc will work with one if you have a pair of the locknuts. If you really cant find any from Bosch, email me and I will dig around- I think I have some for 4 1/2" Bosch Grinders, which I believe will fit. |

It is ok and will let me use 7/8" hole wheels. No one stocks these in my area. I think I would like the convienience of being able to spin off a wheel and then spin on cup brush without fear of losing a hub nut. It is not something I have to have. Thanks! Lyndell |

DC would have to be 0 Hz only. :-) However, if it is a universal motor (that is -- with brushes), it should work well on DC as well. Ok thanks, that clears that up. Bosch did send me a parts breakdown and yes it has brushes. I will look closer at the nametag in the AM. I am pretty sure it referenced HZ. It is double insulated (2-prong plug) with a square inside a square emblem on the parts breakdown.

Send more brushes G Lol. Though I do have to stock up on angle grinder brushes again..when that **** stole my angle grinders (and other stuff)..she got me for all the flap wheels, etc etc that were on the same shelf as the three 4" grinders. Id managed to scrounge about 15 brand new flap wheels from a customer that had stopped doing welding in house. Shrug. Ill send off the rest of those linear ways and some ball screws first though. Ive still got to buy some more of the HF orange grinders before I need brushes..sigh Gunner The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose and for someone else to pay when things go wrong. In the past few decades, a peculiar and distinctive psychology has emerged in England. Gone are the civility, sturdy independence, and admirable stoicism that carried the English through the war years .. It has been replaced by a constant whine of excuses, complaints, and special pleading. The collapse of the British character has been as swift and complete as the collapse of British power.

No one stocks 7/8" hole wheels?
thats mighty wierd- up here in the pacific northwest, thats about all anybody uses- every welding supply and industrial supplier has tons of em. Of course, Enco, MSC, Grainger, and Mcmaster Carr all carry them. Personally, I buy a lot of that kind of stuff direct from Klingspor Abrasives, I buy 20 flap discs at a time, and they are all 7/8" hub. You usually pay a buck or so extra per wheel for the convenience of a threaded hub. |
