I have a Delta 8 grinder that I'm not particularly fond of. It takes 3/4 inch wheels, and it's a lot easier to find 1 wide.
I'm looking at the Dewalt. Do I want a 6 or an 8? It sems to me that the surface speed of the 8 is really high, around 7540 sfpm.
The 6 is about 5400 sfpm.
Does it matter?
Actually, there may be another option. There is enough room in the housings to take 1" wheels, but not enough length on the shaft. If I changed the "dimpled" flange for a flat one, and (maybe) swapped the standard nut for a jam nut, it would fit. Bad idea/good idea?
