AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the availability of a grinder flange pair with a 3/8" x 24UNF thread, which is deemed unlikely to exist. Concerns are raised about the suitability of such a fine thread for large flange nuts, as it may lead to over-tightening and locking issues. Suggestions include using heat to remove jammed abrasive discs and exploring adaptors for M14 and M10 threads. A member proposes fabricating a spindle adaptor for a drill to function as a grinder, but notes potential limitations due to thrust bearings not handling radial loads effectively. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the challenges and considerations in modifying tools for different applications.

TL;DR Summary
is there's a grinder flange pair with thread 3/8" x 24UNF ?
Does anyone happen to know if there's a grinder flange pair, i.e. its spacer and fastener flanges, with 3/8" x 24UNF thread instead of M10 x 1.5?

If you have not found one yet, I think it is most unlikely.

Can you better describe exactly what you are trying to do?

24 TPI is a very fine thread for use on such a large flange nut, and it will almost certainly over-tighten in use and become locked solid. You will probably then break the locking mechanism while trying to undo the flange nut.
To remove a jammed abrasive disc from a grinder, heat the nut and disc with a flame. At about 150 °C, the polymer binder in the disc will collapse, so it can be undone easily.

Some adaptors are available for M14 and M10, to fit a 3-jaw chuck or an extender to an angle grinder. You might fabricate a similar adaptor for your application. Take care.

This one has a 3/8" UNF.

Need arose in making one of most common drill (here is mine) with 3/8" 24UNF shaft connector to function as grinder being able to use every kind of disc: cutting, grinding, wire disc, mounted straight onto it
 
You could keep the drill chuck with the drill and use the spindle from the second link I gave, or from a similar product.

Maybe you could thread the spindle adaptor to be 9/16" UNF, to eliminate the 3-jaw chuck.
 
There is a reason for the shape and speed of a regular grinder.
A drill will produce very different results.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'
I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...
After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
