Does this grinder take 1" wide wheels? Only one reviewer mentioned wheel width.

The grinder comes with 1" wide wheels. However, I ordered a DeWalt 8" wire wheel. The large spacer washer is not big enough to catch the sholders on the wire wheel so I had to buy some 5/8" washers to space it out.

A wheel width of 1" is no problem for the grinder. But, the grinding work platforms are a little flimsy. Motor runs smooth thou. As in all newly installed grinder wheels, the wheels need to be dressed to bring them into balance using a carbide or diamond dressing tool / stone.

Yes. In fact, it comes with 8" dia x 1" wheels. Be warned, you'll have to bolt this product down securely or it will vibrate itself off the workbench.

Wheels are a nice 7.5 inches. But the nice thing is that they are about 1.5 inches wide which keeps them from getting stuck in some grates or gridwork.

It will ONLY fit a Weston Commercial size grinder and we had to return it. Had to buy a hand crank and put a motor on it.

Unsure - it is all based on arbor size. Check the specs on the wheel and your grinder. My guess is that they are both 5/8 inch and so you should be okay.

I gave you some bad info before. The numbers I gave you were for the wrong grinder. The correct numbers are 10" for the 8" grinder .My apologies.

NOT wide. Pay extra and get the one with WIDE wheels. It would cost more then the cart itself to convert to wider wheels !!

I have several small grinders including a dewalt and it fits all of them. No Bosch but I think the size arbor is pretty uniform throught the industry.

The wheel base is the widest part, measuring 34 1/2 inches. I think this is the best item I've ever had to help with yardwork, hope you are able to use one.

Yes, I measured them and the wheels have a 2" diameter. The rest of it isn't much bigger though. It is fairly compact. The rolling face is only about an inch wide. It has worked well for us.

No. Not sure why you would need a different size grinding wheel. You can adjust the angle and pitch. This unit would not accept a larger diameter wheel, but could probably take a smaller one. Might be able to use one with more "width" to the cutting edge, but why would you need that? You really only need to grind the cutting edge of the teeth on the chain.

Yes. The arbor has a built in bushing that increases it's size to 7/8". The arbor nut is also made with a raised area on it for 7/8". That's what the grinder is made for and that's the size I use. We used nothing but DeWalt grinders at the gas company and I went a step up to buy this better one. Tjhis IS the one to buy!

The rubber wheel is 5 inches diameter. I just measure it today before I respond to you. I hope this answer your question. Also, it a easy to install, I just push it into my cart, assuming it fit into your.

Yes. You should be able to use any 4-1/2" grinder wheels with your 4-1/2" grinder. Further you can use smaller wheels as well such as wire wheels as long as the arbor hole matches (usually 5/8" for this size grinder). Hope this helps and happy grinding. Don't forget safety glasses.

These sharpening wheels are 8 inches in Dia. and 1/4 of an inch thick. I put them on a 6 inch grinder after removing the covers.

Hi Lillian this thing must be around 35 lbs. and that's just the motor unit its 14" long 7 1/2" wide 13"tall and again that's just the motor unit. The grinder adds 7" to the length and the pan prolly 3" to the height. Butt I cant say enough about how fast this grinder is.

I use a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a cutting wheel, just a quick cut on the edge and both sides, and you have a very sharp edge, I cut small trees up to 4'' wide with NO problem, FRANK PAPA
