Look for a small priority mail box later this week . You should be able to
get a couple of sets of rollers out of the contents , depending on cutting
losses .

Thanks, I'll get my bud with a wire EDM to slice them up.

Look through my web page and tell me what you can use. (Might have minor
blems, but safe and serviceable)

Hey Tom. Do you ever sell seconds? I"m looking to find out what
good brushes are like on the cheap.

How many drums do you want? I often sell them to Asbestos abaters, they use
them for a shift and bag them up for hazardous disposal...they don't care if
there's a crack in the block or a tuft missing. Wheels have a rust spot or
a flaw in the trim or such. Those I'm more careful with as not to let an
unsafe product get out. I don't push them because they displace sales of
firsts.

A sale of some that rolled out the door without a push is better than
no sale. I"m looking for 6-8" coarse, med, and fine wire wheels and
a good cup wheel for rust removal by a 4" or a 7" grinder.

What size AH? The standard is 5/8" with a 1/2" adapter but can go up to 1"
on 6" wheel, 1-1/2" on an 8". Very rarely do we have cups as seconds.
Medium coarse is .012" wire and medium fine is .008" wire, fine is .006"
wire. Knot-type wheels are almost always .014" and .020: wire. In the
machine shop we use the .012", it's good for general use.

How about something in a 4" knot for my angle grinder ? It's 5/8-11 thread
. I'm not picky , whatever you happen to have is fine .

I use my old wood lathe as my power source for my straight wire wheel.
I make adapters on my metal lathe as needed. I can make any size
hole work, but I can only swing 8" on the wood lathe. The little
angle grinder is metric 10 x 1.5 so I made a 1/2-13 adapter for that.
The bigger grinder is a standard 5/8-11 spindle. The 4" hand held is
dedicated to rust removal with an import knotted wheel with 0.011"
wire. Thanks for considering looking around to see if you have
anything suitable. I know you don't normally do retail.

Thanks, I got the bits today and will get them sliced up as soon as I take
my buddy to lunch. I'll send some stuff soon.

Ive got one of Toms 6" steel FINE wheels on a bench grinder, and I use
it for everything from derusting to deburring. It has only gone down
about 1" in dia. in the 6 yrs Ive been using it..and I use it a LOT

Great wheels!
