so i made my own 2x72 grinder, im using 1.5" tooling arms from oregon blade maker. i have a flat platen setup, and a small wheel attachment on the way. now i want a large contact wheel. im prob gonna go with a 10" wheel. my question is.. do i need anything besides a bolt to attach the wheel to my tool arm...assuming the wheel comes with bearings?

You'll probably need a spacer to go between the wheel and the arm, but that can be as simple as a couple washers. Other than that you shouldn't need anything beyond a little loctite to keep the bolt in place
