I s'pose so. But the screwdriver slot in the bolt head needs to be narrow
and have perfectly square edges or the screwdriver will slip out. I don't
know about you, but I wouldn't want a grinding stone that thin to be
spinning at that speed anywhere near me. Besides, those things have a
tendency to walk and no amount of duct tape will stop one. I use the thin
edge of a jeweller's file. It doesn't take that long and then there are no
surprises.
