Two new to me toys this past week. No great "you **** bargins", but what I believe were fair prices. A Baldor 7307D grinder with lighted eye shields, great shape. I just want to change one griding disk to a brush. Does anyone know where I can get the proper spacers? The second is a Clausing...

Guys I have to apologize, I have not been on this forum for long and I didn't realize that this subject has been beaten to death.:o But thanks for all the advice. Looks like SK it is.

Evening Gents, I hope you guys don't mind but I have to vent a little about my latest tool purchase. I recieved a gift card from the kids for Xmas so I figured I'd get a few new hand tools. I was feeling lazy so I went to Sears.com instead of going to the store. I ordered a 3/8 stubby flex...

Ok Bob, you talked me into it you fast talker you. :thumbup: I wanted to pick it up the other day so bad. I started doubting the purchase when I found out about the 3ph. I've been thinking about it since. I called the guy tonight but there was no answer, I'm going to try again in the morning...
