I don't know about you, but I go through die grinder cut-off discs like a
college student goes through free pizza. This morning, I was working on a set
of headers and needed a small grinder. I searched high and low for my little
stone, but couldn't find it. I noticed the pile of quarter-sized cut-off disc
leftovers on the floor and got an idea. I searched through my nut and bolt
bin, found a short bolt that was the right size to fit the center hole in the
cut-off discs and that would thread into my mandrel. I picked up six of the
little dead discs and stacked them all onto the bolt, then threaded it into my
mandrel. I used that "emergency" grinding wheel to cleanup the welds on the
headers, but more than that, I found it to be the fastest grinding and longest
lasting small grinder I've ever used. I will no longer throw those little
quarter-sized leftovers away. Try it, you will be surprised.

Yeah, I know, somebody out there is laughing their head off thinking they've
been doing that since 1943! But hey, it was a new idea to me!
