If the grinder uses a standard 5/8-11 (I think) thread brushes
should be available most anyhere, they will be about $10 each at
normal chain hardware stores but higher quality ones might be cheaper
at welding/tool type shops, shop around, these things are great for
stripping anything but can really heat the metal up so watch out
for deforming the body.
