The Wolverine System instructions pertain to a 8" grinding wheel. Can this be configured to using a 6" wheel variable speed grinder? What would the change in measurements require?
if you remove the wheel cover, you can install a buffing wheel but the cover is need to be in place when grinding because grinding without the REST is not so simply or easy
John, I know a number of folks have successfully used a 6" grinder with the Wolverine. The jig is more important than the grinder when it comes to getting good results.
The factory rests are removed and replaced with the Wolverine, so that wouldn't really be an issue. I'd agree with Carol about the potential risk of running without the covers, though.
will you try to explain how you can install the Wolverine on the grinder when the cover were removed
The system fastens to the table or bench. Cover not involved.
Frank you have to elevate the grinder with a wooden block off the table top by an inch or so depending on the grinder and that is with just the normal 6 inch wheel. The 8 inch would require I am guessing to elevate the grinder by more.
