Can a 7/8'' by 4&amp; 1/2 disk be used on this grinder?

Yes. The arbor has a built in bushing that increases it's size to 7/8". The arbor nut is also made with a raised area on it for 7/8". That's what the grinder is made for and that's the size I use. We used nothing but DeWalt grinders at the gas company and I went a step up to buy this better one. Tjhis IS the one to buy!

Yes, but not safely. The guard will hit a 5" disk, so you must remove the guard. It is very easy to get your "handle hand" into the path of the wheel, and sparks go everywhere rather than just out the side. Heavy leather gloves are recommended. If you know what you're doing, have at it. If not, prepare for injury. "I never owned a grinder" Be very careful, Robert. BTW, if the 5" discs are the flex fibre-backed type with the 7/8" hole in the middle, you'll need a backing plate and special washer-nut. Those disks are for a grinder of a different configuration that keeps the hand far away. This Bosch is the wrong tool for that disk.Keith Yes, but not safely.

It will work if you reduce the air pressure thus reducing the RPM. I use mine for sanding and polishing a lot and do not want it running at it's full RPM because it' to fast. That quickly destroys sanding and polishing disks. I generally use it around 35 to 40 psi which of course requires less CFM. My compressor is very large so CFM is not an issue. I have a small 6 gal pancake compressor for my nail guns etc. I'll hook up the grinder today and report back how it performs.

i do not own dewalt grinders but it might fit because the ring it was clamp to grinder with a metal clamp, it really depends on how wide is your grinder when you try to fit it through it.

I bought this with the D28402k small angle grinder for my husband. It worked great on his Grandmother's basement wall. I think this would work with the grinder in question as the grinder I bought him was a 4 1/2 inch and the one you have a question about is also.

No it is not tall enough. I bought it for the same machine, the grinds come over the top.

You can but if that's all you'll ever be using it for you may just want to get a smaller capacity grinder. That said, it's a really good grinder. I've had mine several years now and it still works great.

Hi, Mudita, I don't have the grinder with me right now, for I bought it for my mom. I think it's about 7" x 4" in size. Hope my answer is helpful.

You have to by 5/8 arbor grinder wheels. 7/8 grinder wheels are for grinders with 7/8 arbors

I used the shroud in a 4.5" Dewalt grinder. After 10 years of use the grinder died but the shroud is great.

You can set the grinder as to the size of the grind.I put mine right in the middle and it's fine with us.And it is easy to "grind"!

It should fit. The bolt pattern on the grinder is roughly 8 inches wide by 5 inches deep.

I did not go to the website but 5/8 is the standard for these 4 1/2" grinders. All the wire wheels and grinding blades are either threaded for the 5/8 arbor or have a smooth center hole. The 7/8 arbor could be for the much larger, more powerful side grinders usually associated with industrial work.

I gave you some bad info before. The numbers I gave you were for the wrong grinder. The correct numbers are 10" for the 8" grinder .My apologies.

5/8 and 7/8 arbor wheels work equally well on this grinder -- the grinder hub has a small lip on it to align 7/8" wheels.

I'm not sure I'd want a bench grinder mounted to a pedestal which was on wheels. With that said, there are holes in the leg extensions used to mount rubber stoppers, these rubber stoppers are attached with a small screw and nut. I'd guess < 1/4" or smaller on the holes.

I dont know. I put it on a ryobi full size grinder. I also have a small ryobi hand grinder. It wouldnt fit.
