Hey guys,

I've recently picked up a Parker-Majestic surface grinder. I'm trying to mount my wheels, and I seem to have a problem. I don't know how to mount the wheels nor do I think I have the bolts to do it. Can someone walk me through wheel mounting?

You need a wheel with a 1 1/4" hole as well as the appropriate adapter. Be sure the adapter has left hand threads. You'll also need the 1/2 inch left hand spindle nut to hold the wheel assembly to the spindle.

You may find them cheaper on Ebay. Sopco is the industry standard for these though.

Well it would, but you will lose a lot of the use of the "Y" axis of the grinder. That link is to an extension for a spindle moves the wheel out by 2 3/8".

Alright,
Please excuse me as I'm still learning, but would this work on my grinder?

It looks to be not as long at the previously posted.

That's what your after. But before you lock yourself into it, know that it is limited to wheels between 1/4" to 1/2" wide. If that works for you go for it.

This one; Wheel Hardware - Wheel Accessories | MSCDirect.com is for wheels 1/2" to 3/4" wide.

Ebay is where I'd go though. Here's a link to two of them for $75; Spoko Grinding Wheel Adaptors 2 | eBay There's many more on there too.

Don't forget you will also need a spindle nut and a spanner wrench.
