    It's between the chuck and the live center so a bit more stable and truth be told I never actually took more than a .010" cut off the diameter (.005" in on the dial).

    I've been looking for a better grinding wheel for my angle grinder hopefully with a finer grit and I haven't found one so far. Any suggestions where to look?
    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.
