Wire wheels are great. I use mine much more than my grindstone
(mostly to clean up old or rusty tools and other things).

rating of said wire wheel, particularly critical if you don't have the
proper flanges.
Do you like your eyes? Wear safety goggles & a face shield before you
switch it on.
Just saying.

Big-ass washers, or a wooden disk cut with a hole-saw.

throw lots of little wires, which are miserable to try to get out
of your feet. I know from experience.

Buy a wire wheel that is designated for use on a grinder and it will have
the correct hub size for that use, possibly needing some bushings that
are included with a new wheel.

I have never seen a wire wheel with a thick center. I don't understand why.
Everyone is having the same problem, including me. When you start piling
washers on front and back...good luck keeping the wheel running straight and
balanced.

9 years ago when the wire wheels flew off of their bench grinders after
being improperly mounted.
While your response is appreciated, it is 9 years too late.
