(just kiddin') Thanks for the comps on the carve, I've always been a big fan of the Ku style myself. My grinder is a 4 1/2' grinder and the disk is also 4 1/2" I kinda did it backwards though. I ran across the chain disk at a tool store, bought it, then went out and bought the appropriate grinder for the disk. Don't take my word for it, I'd hate to give advice that led to a mauling of fingers or worse, but it seems to me that as long as the arbor that the disk is mounted on is the same size as the arbor hole on the disk, then it should work. However- RPMs are something you may need to check on your grinder. My disk has stamped on it "12000 rpm max" so if your 5" grinder puts out more than that, maybe you should consider a smaller grinder. Hope that was helpful.
