Best power grinder parts & accessories according to redditors

If you're doing 1000, they make an adapter for an angle grinder that probably cuts the drill time by 75%. Otherwise you're using a bit and a drill and based on the logs i've done, you're looking at probably 4-6 hours of actual time for the whole process (breaks to charge batteries, heat up wax, etc).

You've got to drill 1k holes
Put plugs in 1k holes
Hammer 1k plugs in
Seal 1k plugs with wax

Doing it on a whole fresh blowdown like this is a great idea though, esp if you're using a single type of fungi. I usually do 3-4 ft log lengths and have 10-12 varieties going at once. It's also cheaper in the long run to skip plugs and just use sawdust spawn instead if you're doing it in volume.

For anyone interested, the drill chuck adapter for the angle grinder can be found here:

This is a quality bit, just be sure to get the right one.

massively increases the speed that you drill holes at, just buy a good bit or 3 or 4 cheap ones for that many holes...as the wood will do a number on poorly tempered steel.

It's a bench grinder wheel dresser, it's missing a few of the star-toothed cutters

this one is pretty similar

I know exactly what this is, I've got one in my toolbox - It's a dressing wheel for a bench grinder, also known as a Grinding Dresser. This particular one is called a Star Dresser, or a Disk Wheel dresser.

Here's a similar one on Amazon.

And here's a similar tool in use. (Obviously, pretty noisy video, so might want to turn your volume down a little.)

None of the above. it is a grinding wheel dresser.

That texture is too pronounced to skim over without trying to knock it down first.

I'd go after it with a plaster plane:
https://www.amazon.com/Kraft-Tool-PL300-Angle-Blades/dp/B00BNXTYSM/

You could use just about anything that'll knock the texture down without damaging the wall.

Then wash the wall, prime, skim, prime, and paint.

If you can live with the ceiling, that might be a can of worms best left unopened unless you're willing to tear the ceiling out and start over. Once you start chipping away at those cracks who knows what you'll find.

These things are actually commercially available. I picked one up at Harbor Freight one time but I've been too chicken--- I mean, I haven't had a reason to use it yet.

This Old Tony talks about using one in his Custom Springer Stock build.

Thanks, but I found it for 3 fingers at Amazon with free shipping if you have Prime.

Think I might need a set.

Thanks for the heads up!

This will get the job done

They look like replacement cutters for a grinding wheel dressing tool.

It is for resurfacing a grinding wheel on a bench grinder.

I got this one it was $50 when I got it but it looks like it's down to $32. I couldn't tell you the difference between this one and the cheaper one since this has been the only one I've used. I'm pretty sure my angle grinder was a 7 amp Dewalt.

To protect your plants, I'd recommend this: https://item.rakuten.co.jp/ideaworld/a-010/?s-id=ph_pc_itemname or https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B00PVAQ2WO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These are spray bottles with a motion sensor. I have used it successfully with canned air to train my cats to not sleep in the pans on the stove \^\^. The included gas (butane) is flammable but harmless when used outdoors. If the cats have a preferred path to come into your garden, placing another bottle there might be enough to deter them from coming. There is another device here that emits high pitched sounds that are unpleasant for cats when it detects motion. This doesn't require any consumables so it might be cheaper in the long run.

There is a couple of organizations that can help rehome cats. Just make sure you aren't calling the Japanese equivalent of animal control. (Assuming you are a decent person who is annoyed about the situation but doesn't actually want these cats dead.)

Have you talked to the breeder and "yasashii ojisan"? It looks like you still have lots of options before doing anything drastic and please keep in mind that the situation is not the cats' fault.

You want a diamond grinder wheel. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Turbo-Diamond-Grinding-Grinding-Coarse/dp/B00XIKZ7AC/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1550001781&sr=1-14&refinements=p_n_feature_eight_browse-bin%3A4539398011&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&th=1&psc=1

Move the grinder fast as it can be aggressive. It is going to be very dusty so I would suggest plastic drop cloths taping off the area.

I was in this bind for a while too. The easiest, cleanest, and fastest way I ended up on was to get an angle grinder and pick up one of these scary little things. I got these two holes roughed out in about 5 minutes, and if you're gentle with it you shouldn't even really need to sand.

The only downsides are that it's a little costly, and it's about one of the most scary bastard hybrids of dangerous tools you can handle. Read the instructions like scripture.

Does the Arbortech Turbo Plane screw into a regular angle grinder or do you have to buy the whole grinder? I've been looking for something a lot less scary than the King Arthur's Lancelot carving grinders.

Top - utility knife with hook-shaped utility blade

Middle - Punches

Bottom - reminds me of a carpet glue trowel but unsure.
