You can make your own quills to fit whatever grinding wheels you have. Don't get hung up too much on grade of wheel, in a home shop environment the grade is of minor importance just use what works, stockist usually sell the general purpose do most jobs grades anyway. This is the link to my build and how to make the quills. http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=1903.0 Hope this helps Stew
