Bench grinder question.

[Omega Leather Works]

I have a couple of tools coming that mount to a bench grinder. One is a wooden burnisher, the other is a drum sander. Both have steel sleeves and set-screws.

My question is, they both are fitted for 1/2" arbors. My 8" grinder has 5/8" arbors. Is there any way to adapt the shafts to work with the smaller tools?

I'm guessing there is a very obvious answer, but I'm not super familiar with this problem.

I can always buy a 6" grinder, but would rather use my, otherwise unused, grinder if possible.

Its called an arbor adapter:

Thank you Stacy! I had looked at those before, but wasn't sure if I was looking at the correct adapter.

I'm gonna take the wheels off the grinder and take a look at the tools when they arrive.

Thanks again,
