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.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
