[TheForge] wire brush

[Riverbend Blacksmiths]

On my forge, I hooked up this slick air actuated foot switch. I love  
this thing. You can use it on your routers, but I actually use it on  
my electric blower on my forge. I can't see why you couldn't use it  
on a grinder. There are 2 models. One is an on/off switch. One is an  
on/off if you step off of it switch. It works very well for me. I've  
provided the link below.
