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.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
