We used an industrial similar tool with a course strip it type roller 20 years or more ago, used it fo removing baked on jointing compound from steam turbine split-line joint faces, Worked fantastically well,

Bit like a moveable spindle moulder..Well that's what Machine Mart are calling it

Getting something trapped between the wheel and guard would be hairy.

Ask @Dieselkid 63 about wheels and guards.Mhhh, jury here's out on that one.
If the guard was further away from the wheel would be better.

Yep, utterly terrifying! You see I actually found what happened that time - the Bench grinder had been mounted on a length of H beam which was larger than the base of the machine. This created a pinch point between the wheel and the machine where work could get caught on the H beam and then would have no option but to be sucked through.
Grinders have guards to not only protect you touching them but to minimise the effects of a wheel exploding, which I am told is similar to a shotgun at point blank range. The Union has very rigid guards which gives me great confidence, plus some glass guards which bend down over the wheel so you’re pretty much completely shielded.

That’s not really the fault of the grinder is it.
Hope you have it on a pedestal now

It is when there’s no guard on the wheel. A fully exposed wire wheel isn’t something I would have at home.
Not my grinder, it was at uni.

on Ali express at just shy of £100.
I'd guess they're available on banggood or gearbest?
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32722...e-Polishing-Wheel-Pad-Polisher-Sander-Grinder
Only £65 on a well known auction site.
Am tempted at that price but would like a pipe belt sander first.
