48M468 - Walter 48-M-468 Mounting Flange for 7-Inch and 9-Inch Grinders

Secure Mounting for Heavy-Duty Grinding

The Walter 48M468 Gear Flange is a critical accessory designed to ensure the safe and effective operation of your large angle grinders. Specifically engineered for 7-inch and 9-inch grinders, this flange provides the necessary interface between the grinder's spindle and the abrasive wheel. In the world of industrial metalworking, the integrity of your tool setup is paramount, not just for the quality of the finish but for the safety of the operator. Using a genuine Walter flange guarantees that your equipment meets the manufacturer's rigorous specifications for fit and balance.

Precision Fit and Compatibility

This gear flange is compatible with standard 5/8"-11 threaded spindles, which are the industry standard for large North American angle grinders. The precision machining of the 48M468 ensures that the wheel sits perfectly flat and centered. This is essential for high-RPM tools, as even a minor imbalance can lead to excessive vibration, operator fatigue, and premature wear on the grinder's bearings. Whether you are using depressed center grinding wheels, cutting wheels, or flap discs, this flange provides the stable backing required for optimal performance.

Durability and Safety

Constructed from high-strength steel, the Walter Gear Flange is built to withstand the torque and pressure of heavy material removal. It resists deformation and wear, ensuring a long service life even in harsh shop environments. Proper flange usage is a key component of abrasive safety standards; a worn or incorrect flange can lead to wheel breakage. By choosing the Walter 48M468, you are investing in a component that upholds the highest safety standards, keeping your workflow smooth and your operators protected.
