I have an old electric motor and I want to put a 9'' sanding disc on the motor, however the motor has 1/2'' arbor/spindle and the disc has a 3/4 opening.
Is there an arbor that would have 3/4'' shaft that I can put on the motor? I’m not finding anything but I may not know the right terminology.
What can I do to make this work?
Thanks!

McMaster-Carr has aluminum bronze sleeve bearings in various lengths, that could be used as a adapter with one of the arbor shafts you have pictured...

Or a $$$ step up shaft adapter....

If you have female threads on that sanding disk, his first option may not work for you. If it’s thru bolted, ignore me.

Appears to be a smooth bore with two set screws on the sanding disc...

That arbor bushing may not work then,unless you slot or bore it so the set screws hit the main shaft, else any friction may cause it to spin.

Add two holes through the bushing in alignment with the two set screws. It's a $6.00 solution. The other option goes for around $65.00.
