08B001 - Walter 1/4-Inch Grinding Wheel Adapter 5/8-11

Secure Mounting for Industrial Grinding

The Walter Throw-Away Adaptor (08B001) is a critical accessory designed to facilitate the safe and effective use of 1/4-inch thick depressed center grinding wheels. In the demanding environment of industrial metalworking, ensuring that abrasive consumables are correctly mounted to power tools is paramount for both performance and operator safety. This adapter is engineered specifically to bridge the interface between standard 1/4-inch grinding wheels and angle grinders equipped with a 5/8"-11 NC spindle.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this adapter ensures that the wheel is centered perfectly and clamped securely. Improper mounting can lead to vibration, wheel imbalance, and potential safety hazards. By using the correct adapter, operators can ensure smooth rotation and consistent contact with the workpiece, extending the life of the grinding wheel and the tool itself. This unit is classified as a "throw-away" or consumable adapter, making it a cost-effective solution for shops that go through high volumes of abrasives.

Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, a foundry, or a maintenance department, having the right mounting hardware is as important as selecting the right abrasive. The 08B001 adapter is robust enough to handle the torque and lateral forces applied during heavy stock removal, edge chamfering, and weld leveling. It is an indispensable component for any tool crib stocking Walter abrasives.
