Abstract
A grinding box for reducing the size of bolt heads and nuts from one size to another, preferably from metric standard sizing to American standard sizing, is disclosed. The grinding box includes a housing with a base, sidewalls, and a cover; an abrading mechanism, such as a power driven abrading wheel, positioned within the housing and beneath the cover; an opening through the cover providing access to the abrading mechanism; and a device for placing bolt heads and nuts in contact with the abrading mechanism such that their faces are abraded and the bolt heads and nuts are reduced to a predetermined smaller size.
