I guess I'll take a few stabs in the dark and see what falls through the cracks. If I find something, I might come back here and ask for opinions.

@Susquatch Here is the video where I learned how to dress a diamond wheel, in the manner @Mcgyver mentioned. I did not see the link he referred to but I'm sure they're similar. Robin uses molybdenum rod over plain steel, I used cold rolled because it is what I had but I'm going to order some molybdenum rods to try instead.

Once I get the manual surface grinder all set up I'm going to permanently mount a few wheels on arbors as robin illustrates here.

I like the way he centered the wheel using a drilled nut. But I wonder why he didn't just make a new nut. No sense softening and drilling an oem nut.

First I have to find some appropriate wheels. But I don't really know what wheels to get.

If I had enough arbours, I'd prolly mount the diamond wheels permanently too, but they are expensive. So I'll be lucky to even dedicate one.

The hydraulic surface grinder that we gave to our friend has nuts that have slots and balancing weights. I love how cool they are. I copied the design into fusion to make adapters for my regular grinding wheels so I can precisely balance and swap out wheels at will.

When I saw robin modify a sopko nut to clamp diamond and cbn wheels I thought wow, such a lost opportunity to make your own and combine the ability to balance wheels too....

I have a bunch of adapters and nuts, I will make a bunch of new style nuts, that I can also modify to use to balance wheels
