Simple bench grinder modification
Hi
I bought a bench grinder from a flea market couple years ago.
It was little bad condition, and i usually doesn't even use rough wheels for grinding.
I had more use for a finishing machine, so i made this simple mod to it. Big wheel on the right side, is scotch brite polishing wheel.

Whoops. Actual thread size in chuck is 1/4-20. I allways mix those. Specially easily when video editing is made week after actual making process.
Most likely reason was, that i needed to make a new thread to pipe, and searched3/8" - 18 NPT taper thread die with google meanwhile video editing software was rendering video clips.

I squirmed a bit when I saw the tap continually spinning in the drill chuck. That looks like a good way to damage the chuck jaws.
