OVERVIEW

Precision Mounting for Industrial Abrasives

The Walter 04X001 1/4"-20 Shaft/Twist is a critical accessory designed to integrate Walter's high-performance Twist backing pads with standard industrial power tools. In the realm of metal fabrication and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), the ability to quickly switch between abrasive grades and types is paramount for efficiency. This shaft adapter serves as the bridge between your pneumatic die grinder or electric drill and the Twist quick-change system.

Engineered from high-strength steel, this mandrel is machined to strict tolerances. This precision ensures that when the backing pad is threaded onto the 1/4"-20 stud, the assembly rotates concentrically. Minimizing runout is essential not only for the quality of the surface finish but also for the longevity of the tool bearings and the safety of the operator. A balanced abrasive assembly reduces operator fatigue caused by vibration, allowing for longer periods of productive work.

The 1/4" shank is the industry standard for collet-based tools, making this accessory universally compatible with the vast majority of die grinders found in Canadian workshops. Whether you are deburring, blending, or finishing, this shaft provides the secure connection necessary to transmit torque effectively to the abrasive media. It is specifically designed to withstand the high RPMs often associated with small-diameter abrasive work.

FAQ

The shaft features a 1/4"-20 external thread, designed to screw into compatible backing pads.

This adapter has a standard 1/4" shank, making it compatible with most pneumatic die grinders, electric die grinders, and power drills with a chuck.

Yes, this shaft is specifically designed to mount backing pads used in the Walter Twist quick-change system.

No, this item is the metal shaft/mandrel only. The rubber backing pad is sold separately.

Yes, as long as the backing pad has a 1/4"-20 internal thread, this shaft will fit.

The shaft is made from durable steel to withstand high-speed rotation and torque.

You need this adapter if your backing pad does not have a permanently attached shaft and you wish to use it in a tool with a collet or chuck.
