Does anyone sell motor shaft adapters? I have a disk grinder with 5/8" bore but most motors sold on eBay have bigger shaft diameter. Is there any motor shafts adapters out there? I did search on google but found nothing.
Thanks

I need an adapter that has bore 1, 3/4 or 7/8 and has a 5/8" shaft.
McMaster only has adapters to make bigger shafts smaller. I need the other way around.
Thanks

Buy the bigger sleeve and screw or braze in the rod.
How about getting the best buy you can on a motor, taking it apart, taking the rotor to someone with a lathe and turning the end of the shaft down to 5/8". Should take about 5 minutes, and no extra parts needed.
If you talk nice to a shop instructor at a local technical high school you gould probably get it done for just a "thank you" faster than you can say Jill Robinson.
