Step 2Replace the Wire Brush with a Urethane Wheel
I got this wheel from my local hardware store (they have *everything*).
First, I drilled out the center of the wheel to make it fit over the threads of the angle grinder.
I also bought an angle grinder nut to hold it on - they're a little pricy. I could alternatively have salvaged the nut from the wire brush.
The wheel had a curvature that prevented any threads from being exposed above it, so I flattened it a bit with a hammer.
Also, I noticed that if the wheel wasn't pressing against ground, it tended to stretch and fly off the wheel quite a bit.
As you can see, the urethane deforms a lot.
Fortunately, this wasn't a problem.
