I just received a package in the mail from Australia today, containing a wheel hub and shroud for the RIGHT-HAND side of my cylindrical grinder. Here's a photo from a 1960's sales brochure:
Now here's the catch... This hub takes grinding wheels that are 200mm (8") diameter, 10-16mm thick (3/8-5/8") and with a 60mm center hole (slightly less than 2 3/8"). It's that last thing that's the problem -- the hole size. I can't find those for sale anywhere, and for what I'd want (aluminium oxide, 10mm and 16mm wheel in 46K and 60K) a special order would cost a fortune.
My question: for 15 Euro I can buy a 60mm diamond-coated hole saw for concrete and stone. Is it OK for me to use this to bore out a standard 32mm or 51mm wheel? Or is there a better approach?
