I got a 10" wheel from Nathan House and just ordered a tool arm from Rob. I'll be hollow grinding before too long.

Love it don't you?...I know I love mine. I did the longer arm thing Kit added to his (works great, thanks Mike) and I've been thinking of that sheild shown in his pic, too. Damn good ideas. Enjoy!

It's just a piece of sheet metal. With 50 grit and the 14" wheel, you get alot of stuff coming at you. I don't notice it with a 10" wheel.

Congratulations Michael, that's a beautiful thing. You even have a cool-looking motor. 
But watch out, you're about to fill that stereo with lots of dust... Variable speed is one of those things you can live without - until you have it. It makes all the difference in the world.
I made similar changes to Kit's on my BIII. I also had to replace the small screw that adjusted the tracking arm with a bigger one. I stripped the smaller one out in about a year but the big screw I changed it to is holding up well. I used a lever to replace the tracking knob because that's what I found first. And it sorta matches the other levers on the machine.
As to the dust flying at you - I just squint. Maybe I should try the baseball cap too!
