OK, CRAP...I knew the 1st thing I'd do, would be to misjudge something. I spent $100 at Home Depot (crazy, I can't even afford rent!). Got the Flexshaft. Yay! Also got a Ryobi bench grinder with a 1/2" arbor. So I got a 1/2" keyless chuck...and of course, they don't fit. Different thread design. So how do you figure that one out? The chuck has info on it...(1/2-20) which is 1/2" and 20 thread? The grinder only says "Arbor 1/2" I'd like to be able to attach different things on that end of the grinder. Dang it!
