I expected at least a couple of people would at least have a recommendation for an electric one :ROFLMAO:... I didn't think the Daytons really drew that much power as they really only ran at night and occasionally during the day. Garage is 40s at the coldest so all I wanted was 10 degrees of...

Poured a new slab in my attached garage this August and hooked up two ceiling 220 outlets for the possibility of heaters this winter. Wife has offered to get me a garage heater for Christmas but I've been slacking on my research, I'm in Northern NJ so occasionally it may get to 0F but...

Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with a sunroof repair on my car. I drilled the old rivets out that hold the back piece together and now I can't get another one to fit. It looks like the hole is no 5/16", which I understand does not exist. Due to the nature of the motor spinning the whole...

So the proper way to get it balanced would be to use the bushings?

Jet lists the arbor as 5/8” but the 5/8” washers have a bit of play, so I’m thinking it’s more like 9/16” or 1/2” on the arbor. There’s no wobble with the old wheel back on and no play with wheel back off so it’s not the other wheel, the wire wheel is off balance. The wire wheel itself says 5/8”...

Are they good for tight nooks and crannies? I’m mostly using the wire wheel to strip fasteners to bare metal so that I can galvanize them using zinc electroplating followed by blue passivate. Part of the problem was that I couldn’t totally clean the threads using a drill and wire wheel.

Well tried some washers and I have some pretty bad wobble. Tried them inside and outside of the plates as well as the same number on each side. Is it because the other grinding wheel is still on and a different weight and diameter? Do I need to match the other side with a wire wheel to keep it...

Would you be able to check the widths of the spacers? I found them online but they don't list their widths. It looks like I have about 5/8" between the arbor nut and the side of the wire wheel.

Thanks all, I didn't even think about the safety considerations but it makes sense with little pieces of metal traveling at 3,400 RPM. I am mainly using it to strip fasteners to bare metal in order to galvanize them via zinc electroplating.

Hi all, Longer time lurker, first time posting. I recently bought a Jet IBG-8 bench grinder for stripping fittings on a car restoration project down to bare metal. I’ve never used a bench grinder before and I’m trying to mount an 8” wire wheel to the grinder but it looks like the wire wheel is...
