Contact wheel help

[Cavecloth]

Hey guys, I purchased a 6" contact wheel for my 2x72 and the hub is 1.2" in diameter....... I was planning on using a 1/2" bolt to connect it to my grinder arm, but I can't.

What do you guys do to down-size the ID of the hub?

Thanks for your help!

You might get more response if you ask a mod to move this to maintenance and tinkering sub forum.--Use the report triangle-bottom left of your post.--KV

Done. Thank you!

Should be able to stick an adapter bushing in it, yeah?

 

[Cavecloth]

That's a good idea. Thanks

The bearing IDs are 1.2"?

I got some wheels for 6202 bearings, my creative solution was to call my grinder manufacturer and see if he had any axles laying around sleeved or sized for 15mm bore. He did, and they were fairly cheap.

For anyone who struggle with 6202 and ID 15mm. 6202 bearings are also available with a half inch ID, or a 12mm ID
