I mostly use 4" or 6" razor wheels on it, also have a drill chuck to thread on the end so I can use it for any 1/4" or 1/2" tool.

One thing you can do to make it easier to use: I built a stand for it and mounted the motor on a lazy susan turntable - that way you're not constantly flexing the shaft in an S curve when you move it around.
i think its the same kind of shaft i have , i know they are quite expensive . i ll probably try it with that 1/3 hp motor i have. (that is if i get a bit of free time )
thanks for the info.
