Bench grinder: Where can I get a 4" wire wheel?

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 12:14:37 -0700

I have a 4" bench grinder. Because of space constraints in my workshop I cannot use 5" or 6" wheels. I would like to outfit my bench grinder with various 4" wheels ( wire wheels, buffing and polishing wheels, etc. so I can remove rust , clean parts, and generally refurbrish older mechanical equipment. I had several 4'' wheels a few years ago but have been unable to find any 4" parts in today's world.

Your suggestions would be appreciated

VIM PART # E144575. 8uf +\-5%. 250vac 50/60Hz. -20~70C

Description : black box. 2 prongs on top of box with a metal piece with circle cutout at back of box (maybe it’s where a screw would go to hold it in place, but I’m sure that the prongs would hold it?). The replacement for this has wires instead of prongs and 450 vac. I don’t know if this would work.
