    Bench grinder size

    Just curious why it seems to me that 8" bench grinder is a popular choice? From what I understand, the ideal speed is approximately 5000 to 5500 "linear" feet per minute.

    I'm using someone's Bostitch 28 degree wire weld nailer but need nails that are ring shank. Just about every store I've checked only has smooth shank nails. So I then checked Menards and they have Pneu-Fast nail clips but with paper tape. Can paper tape clips be used on a wire weld nailer?
