    Well bench grinder is the wrong direction. What is used is a buffer, the are a different animal. They can also cause person and blade injury if used incorrectly. There is great amounts said about it here

    The small one is likely to high rpm. Most like that run up to 5000 - 10 000rpm. Try look for a small 150 - 200 watt bench grinder and convert it. If using a grinder of any size you want arbour extensions to get the mops far enough away from the grinder for decent use. Do a lot of research before you start it will make it easier in the end. There are lots of threads to read and plenty of good information
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed
