This spindle allows you to convert your bench grinder into a polishing machine by bringing the mop out away from the machine and providing a taper thread for you to attach a mop. Fits virtually all 6" bench grinders (fits 1/2" shaft). This is for the left hand side of your grinder as you look at the front (left hand thread, picture for illustration only). Fixes via a grub screw (we do not use threaded spindles because you rely on the accuracy of the thread on the grinder which often leads to a wobbly non centred shaft). Total length of spindle 4 3/4"
