🔌 Optimized Diameter for Crimped Connections: Lincoln Electric KH322 Review

This is an 8 inch wheel. I use it on a 6" bench grinder. (They don't sell 6" wheels that wide). This works great. You have to let it accelerate the first time you turn it on (it's a powerful wheel) but that's more of a problem with the mill than the wheel. I've been using it for a long time and so far not a single cable has come off.

I am very happy with the spoked wheel. It's wider than what you usually see, which is great for me. I've attached a photo and as you can see the guards have been removed to accommodate the wider wheel. I don't recommend this to anyone but I'm the only one in my shop and after working on project after project for over 55 years I can still count to ten with both hands. Note that the cover has not been removed from the hard wheel side.

I wanted this to work, I really liked it. The extra width fitted my grinder perfectly and was exactly what I wanted. After installing it on my 3/4 hp 3550 rpm coffee grinder I gave it a whirlwind. Several pieces of wire flew out. Thought (hoped) it was just a few loose ones, once cleared it would be fine. I was wrong. Have goggles and a 2 foot piece of 1/2 inch pipe to get rid of parasites. After getting 10 times more hits on my lips, cheeks and forehead, I switched my glasses to full face…
