Hi cidrontmg,
Any idea is those cup type got to use with different type of grinder?

Hi Wong, I use my cup wheel in a 20 Chinese grinder, for the time being at least. Iīve been thinking of making a more elaborate tool grinder, but not yet done much about it. Collected some parts. Another project for the future...
I obviously needed to take off the wheel protection. Thatīs not any danger, the diamond cup is aluminium, so it wonīt shatter (donīt take the protection off with
any "stone" wheel, though!). Also, I needed to turn a spacer and a washer for the cup wheel, it has a bigger hole than the grinder axle. Just some aluminium bar stock, nothing fancy. But reasonably accurate, so the cup wheel runs as true as you can get it.
Thereīs also a small table to hold the tool piece. The wheel cuts with its "outward" side, so the table is towards that end.
Tried uploading pictures to Photobucket, got this
"Photobucket Site Maintenance
Images and videos may continue to serve during this short maintenance."
So some pics and notes here.
The grinder tables rust in an instant when they get wet from the water-cooled tool bit... Just surface rust, but they donīt look nice. The diamond wheel table is rather flimsy, but has served its purpose. I should have built something looking more like the other end table, but contemplating about a far more elaborate tool grinder has put that table on hold... Function comes before good looks, and I like ball handles...
