Bench Grinders - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
I have a Buffalo Model B-8 bench grinder and am looking for a wire wheel attachment. This grinder was purchased in 1982. Not finding comparable parts anywhere.
A wire wheel is bought from the same sort of supplier as you would buy a grinding wheel.
The dimensions of the wire wheel should be similar to the grinding wheel it replaces, though the centre hole is usually larger and should be fitted and mounted with the correct size plastic bushes and steel retaining washers.
The guard and the tool rest should not be used with a wire wheel for safety and of course there should be a hook nearby to hang a pair of safety goggles...
Bear in mind, in a commercial environment, local legislation could exist that means only a suitably qualified and registered person is allowed to maintain/adjust a grinder as in the UK and Europe.

Depends what parts are needed. Spare parts for something that goes wrong so rarely can be difficult especially if the machine is imported.
Some parts will be fairly universal and so fairly easy to obtain - nuts, flanges, abrasive wheels, bearings, capacitor (if fitted) and possibly even the switch and tool rests.
