Hello all - hoping to get a bit of help, I'm a hobby tinkerer and picked up a Norton surface grinder a few years back. I stripped it all down, painted it, updated it to have a VFD for 3ph and have been enjoying using it when suddenly I ran into the fact that it requires the wheel adapters for wheel changes (sorry for my ignorance). Oddly enough when I purchased the unit the guy gave me a box of Norton wheels all with 1" or 1/2" diameter spindles which surely wont work on this grinder without what appears to be a very expensive Sopko adapter.
My question though is what other machines have the same taper? I've been ebay hunting for additional adapters, the Sopkos are typically very proud/expensive. I've seen a few which don't specifically list the taper but they are selling them as Harig or Okamato grinder adapters, hoping that I can find 3-4 more adapters to increase my available options for the hobby.
