11L002 - Walter 1/4-Inch Shank Mandrel for 5/16-Inch Arbor Wheels

Professional Mounting Hardware for Abrasive Wheels

The Walter 11L002 Mandrel is a critical accessory for metalworking professionals who demand precision and safety in their grinding and cutting operations. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this mandrel is designed to bridge the gap between your power source and your abrasive media, specifically catering to wheels requiring a 5/16-inch arbor. With a standard 1/4-inch shank, it fits universally into most industrial die grinders and drill chucks, ensuring broad compatibility across your existing tool inventory.

Safety and stability are paramount when operating high-speed rotary tools. This mandrel is manufactured from high-grade hardened steel, providing the structural integrity necessary to withstand the centrifugal forces and torque generated during aggressive material removal. The precision machining of the shank ensures concentricity, which drastically reduces vibration. Less vibration not only protects the operator from fatigue and potential injury (HAVS) but also extends the life of the abrasive wheel by preventing uneven wear and chatter marks on the workpiece.

This specific model is optimized for use with 2-inch diameter wheels. Its low-profile retaining nut allows the operator to utilize the full face of the wheel and access tight spaces without the hardware interfering with the work surface. Whether you are deburring cut edges, blending welds, or performing surface preparation, the Walter 11L002 ensures your abrasive wheel is held securely and runs true. It is an essential component for any workshop utilizing Walter's high-performance abrasive discs.

Key Technical Benefits

The durability of the Walter 11L002 reduces the frequency of replacement, offering better long-term value compared to generic alternatives. Its corrosion-resistant finish ensures that the threads remain clean and functional even after exposure to coolant, moisture, and shop grime, facilitating easy wheel changes throughout the life of the tool.
