Didn't someone here on GJ actually make some of these for another member?

I'm thinking the "maker" was Kevin54 - but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else remembers better than I . . .

Cheers

this one was bought most likely at car show flea market
its got a part number on it but the search of that came up empty
of I had another of these I would drill and tap out for 5/8-11
going to make a from to adapter with 5/8 rod coupling,5/8 threaded rod
turned down to 1/2-20 if I can find a die. But best choice would be the right one.

I think I've seen those on the company's that sell buffing compounds and such.
3m makes a system using those.
I was looking around a site that sold the 2" grinding belts and one on them had. Sorry I couldn't help with names, but some direction.
McMaster Carr?
Pricey, but try Grainger.
please post what you find, I'm looking to for in the future.

Shows 3/4 shaft, maybe call for smaller?

They call them buffing wheel tapers.

Ive found several of the set screw ones,that would be for a smooth shaft

Doesn't specifically mention the shaft threads, being there's a left and a right, these might be them.

wow pricey but guess they do exist

other option might be to find a smooth 1/2 with plenty of meat and tap it out to 5/8

That's what I was thinking.

I know you guys are trying to help but is anyone reading the description?

" The four inch long spindles slip over the motor shaft and are fastened in place with set screws. "

Search didnt work because it was a PDF catalog.
These guys are a few spaces away from me at Daytona Speedway T Giving show.
