When Grinders Go Bad

 I was about to use my bench grinder to put a flat in my 1/8" carbide endmill when the grinder shorted out in a most spectacular way: sparks from the switch.  I'm glad I was not close.  Rather than buy a new bench grinder, I decided to buy one of these:

LINE10 Tools 1/2-Inch Drill Arbor Adapter for Buffing and Grinding Wheels.  

I was able to mount my buffing wheel and grinding wheel (both of which I removed from the grinder before burial at toter), in my drill press.  They work perfectly here and I have one less tool consuming desktop space.
