no, but for me that was not a problem. i prefer to use one that is much more stout than ones that come with grinders.

You can use this blade without a guard but you absolutely should were good safety glasses with side shields. Be sure you pay attention to the the orientation of the blade when you install it in the grinder. Good Grinding and Happy Trails!

I would advise against it. I never tried it but it I think that is stretching its capability. I think a grinder would do a better job.

You don't have to. But I highly recommend it. I feel it gives you a better edge and keeps the stone from loading up.

Probably could. I have been grinding pavers, rock and granite without an issue. May want to think about using water to keep the dust down

I actually purchased TWO of these. One has two different grade cloth polishing pads on it, and the second, a standard grinding wheel on one spindle and a wire brush on the other. I often use it on wood to do final shaping and it works fine. I have removed the entire guard so as to have better access, but would not recommend that unless you are VERY careful.

It has a chopper that I haven't used yet, not sure about the aerator/grinder.

Yes, I suppose you could if you had the correct size bushings and an extender shaft to allow the selected buffing wheel to clear the grinder body... I'm not sure why you would use it this way instead of mounting the system on your lathe though... I use the system with all three wheels mounted on the included shaft quite often and it only takes a few moments to mount/unmount it from the lathe. Good luck and safe turning to you!

To use with the guard on it it must have a 4 1/2 inch grinding disc or flap wheel. Also the arbor uses a 5/8 inch hole on the grinding wheel or flapper wheel which ever your going to use. so 41/2 x 5/8 wheels would work nicely. If you remove the guard its not safe but you could use bigger diameter wheels then but the arbor will always use a 5/8s inch inside diameter wheel.

There is a white lid on top that can be removed. If the question is about taking the grinding stone, then you have to rotate the black knob on top in anti-clockwise direction. The white lid and black knob are totally independent.

I would say yes but I'd use a masonry grinder. This is used for smoothing surfaces.

yes you can .....the only issue we have had and will do some adjusting too.... is the tension on the belt or scotch brite... it needs to be more so you have the ability to push a bit harder when polishing. there is a possibility that thats is to safe guard machine. great value compared to other machines and 3 and 4 times cost.

It all depends on how heavy the material is that you plan to grind. If it's large and/or heavy the unit will walk on the surface it's sitting on. Small things present no walking problem for me. Simple solution, secure it to the work surface then you don't have to worry.

This has a threaded 5/8" arbor for a hand grinder. You will need a large 3/4" drill and an 5/8 arbor. I wouldn't recommend it.

No, with the guard on maybe 3/4". This of this tool as a grinder with versatile blades. I use it to cut tile or some metal or maybe some drywall (with lots of dust). I wouldn't use this tool to cut wood. Use a tool designed for wood cutting.

Can you use the pour guard with the glass bowl?? It's not offered as an accessory, so I'm concerned. Thank you!
