OVERVIEW

Reliable Mounting for Industrial Abrasives

The Walter Surface Technologies 48H459 Arbor Shank is a critical accessory for metal fabrication professionals who demand precision and safety in their finishing operations. This high-quality mandrel is engineered to facilitate the mounting of flap wheels and other abrasive products that feature a 1/4-inch arbor hole onto power tools equipped with a standard 1/4-inch collet or chuck. Whether you are using a pneumatic die grinder, an electric straight grinder, or a standard drill, this arbor shank ensures a secure and balanced fit, allowing you to leverage the full potential of your abrasive media.

Constructed from hardened industrial-grade steel, the 48H459 is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. In high-speed grinding and finishing applications, balance is paramount; a poorly machined arbor can lead to excessive vibration, which not only produces a poor surface finish but can also damage the power tool's bearings and pose a safety risk to the operator. Walter Surface Technologies has designed this shank with tight tolerances to ensure concentricity, minimizing runout and vibration for a smoother, safer operation.

This versatile accessory is specifically optimized for use with Walter's renowned line of abrasives, including the Two-in-One and Coolcut flap wheels. It accommodates wheel widths ranging from 1 inch to 2 inches, providing flexibility for various tasks such as deburring, cleaning, and polishing in hard-to-reach areas. The assembly includes the shank, necessary washers, and a locking nut, providing everything required to get your abrasive wheel up and running immediately. By converting unmounted wheels into shank-mounted tools, this accessory expands the utility of your existing abrasive inventory.

Key Benefits:

  • Versatility: Adapts 1/4" arbor hole wheels to 1/4" collet tools.
  • Safety: Precision machining reduces vibration and ensures a secure lock.
  • Durability: Made from robust steel to resist bending and wear.
  • Compatibility: Perfect for Walter flap wheels and compatible generic brands.
