48R195 - Walter Tapered Spindle Adapter for 5/8-11 Grinders

Maximize Your Grinder's Potential with the Walter Tapered Sleeve

The Walter Tapered Sleeve (48R195) is an essential accessory for metal fabricators and finishers looking to expand the capabilities of their standard power tools. Designed to thread directly onto the 5/8"-11 spindle of most commercial angle grinders, this adapter instantly converts your grinding tool into a versatile polishing machine. By providing a tapered shaft, it allows for the secure mounting of buffing wheels, felt wheels, and other finishing abrasives that require a tapered friction fit.

Constructed from high-quality machined metal, this spindle adapter is built to withstand the high rotational speeds and torque associated with industrial angle grinders. It eliminates the need to purchase a dedicated bench buffer or specialized polishing tool for many applications, saving both money and shop space. Whether you are restoring a mirror finish to stainless steel, polishing aluminum, or cleaning up welds, this simple yet robust adapter ensures your buffing wheels stay centered and secure during operation.

Installation is straightforward: simply screw the adapter onto the grinder's spindle until tight. The tapered design then grips the center of your buffing wheel; as the tool spins, the rotational force naturally tightens the wheel against the taper, preventing slippage. This makes the Walter 48R195 an indispensable tool for workshops that require flexibility in their finishing processes.

Key Applications

• Stainless Steel Finishing: Ideal for mounting soft buffing wheels used with polishing pastes to achieve mirror finishes.


• Aluminum Polishing: transform your grinder to handle aluminum polishing tasks effectively.


• Maintenance & Repair: Quickly switch from grinding to polishing without changing tools, just the attachment.
