Thanks. I didn't know that's what it's called.
It appears grinder suggestions win out, but I already have too many grinders and I also have a few buffers.
I had one US army surplus wet belt sander also. But that thing is one too many and I have to donate it to a rebuild warehouse store. The store listed it for $300 for many months then it's gone. Hopefully someone bought it.
Oh, wait, I got one more wet grinder that I need to get working and it looks like this:
I just measured and the shaft diameter, which I still have is 1". The bolt holes are 1/2".
You guessed it right. It came from an exercise machine. That's a cable wheel and the bottom is the shaft where maybe for either bicept or calf exercise.

I guess you will have to build a Go Cart or mini Ferris Wheel then! LOL!
Very funny, but also very funny because it's so true. I had a large roll of chain link fence. I saved for many months, maybe more than a year. Then I donated it. A week later, I needed to put something on top of large structure for squash plant to climb on that I built for my wife. I just got upset at myself for not keeping it. At the end, I made a net using electrical wires laying around. That took a lot of wires and work.Get rid of them, a week later you will know what to do with them

When I was working in packing houses everything used pillow block bearings. The last set I had that had been in the "egineering to stock" pile I used in the double belt reduction setup to turn my verticle wood bandsaw into a metal cutting bandsaw. Look close they are sitting side by side on the big angle iron.
