Lathe Grinder Adapter

This lathe attachment is designed to turn your lathe into a grinder. One piece is meant to attach to a faceplate that you mount to your lathe, while the other piece bolts through the grinder wheel mounting it to your lathe. The immediately printable profiles are designed to work with the Central Machinery 10/18 lathe that you can buy from Harbor Freight; use the customizer if you need it to work with a differently sized lathe (do note, everything is in Imperial - for those that need metric, 25.4mm is 1in). There are different parts that will be required depending on the grinder wheel arbor and thickness, as well as your faceplate requirements. The default prints require for the faceplate:4x M5x16mm bolts4x M5 ruthex heatset inserts The customizer allows you to specify the type of bolt needed to work with your faceplate, while the arbor sizes change it automatically (this applies to the required heatset insert as well):1 1/4in arbor needs M101in arbor needs M105/8in arbor needs M81/2in
