I have right now a wire wheel on a 1940's 1/2 HP motor.

The wheel is very much out of whack, and I suspect the shaft has some
play also. It has way too much vibration. Since I have all kinds of
motors, etc, I am thinking of making a new motor/wheel combo. I would
use a shaft adaptor (from McMaster also, not the cheapest kind).

I want to buy a wheel at McMaster-Carr.

My main use of it is "clean stuff prior to selling" or "clean little
welded parts" or "remove rust from smaller parts". I have either 1/2
HP, or 3/4 HP single phase motors.

What motor size and wheel size would you say works best?

I would ideally like to complete my wheel order today as I am ordering
some other things also.

thanks
