I built a 2X72 belt grinder 4 yrs ago. I used a piece of .500 all thread for the wheel shaft. Plan was to make a proper shaft later on.
Question is. Should I look for a specific grade of steel for the shaft?
I have some mystery grade 1" round in stock...but thought that I should ask here first
The shaft will spin a 10 " wire wheel and a 8" grizzly aluminum/rubber coated wheel at about 3k RPM
