If you look up the specs of an air die grinder tool you will see they are the same sort of layout (less the inbuilt motor and water cooling). It' just a case off finding an appropriate size collet chuck against motor with similar size spindle. Push out spindle and replace with collet chuck (collars etc). Thats what i am changing my spindle motor for. By the way the shank on a die grinder is really too short to be used like this unless the motor is mounted off the unit and belt. The chinese collet chucks can be got with a 14mm shank and 1/2" which match a lot of suitable size motors out ther (diasbled cart's/ buggy motors, DC and large spindles :-)). Pop in to your nearest mobility centre and you will see what i mean, may even sell you a secondhand motor for a few quid from there repair shops normally on site. Whilst you are there ask them for a speed controller, you change the current limiter (that's what stops the pavement road nights brigade from speeding). Maybe some ideas in there to save inventing the wheel???
If the nagging gets really bad......Get a bigger shed:naughty:
