ROLOC adapter for a small Angle Grinder?

1129 forum posts 1 photos	Hi All, I have just bought this small KATSU angle grinder from Amazon as it is easier on my wrists and a lot quieter than the 115mm one that I have at the moment. I want to use it for cleaning up material before welding etc. I have also got a lot of small ROLOC 75mm flap discs and the normal drill adapter with 1/4" shaft. The grinder will take small Dremel type cutters etc as shown. I would like some advice on a SAFE way to make some sort of adapter to take the 1/4" ROLOC shaft so that I can use the discs. Using them in a drill soon gets uncomfortable and I have a fair bit of material to prepare for welding of the linisher base. All thoughts welcome! Cheers, Martin
