30B022 - Walter 3-Inch Flange Set for 9-Inch Cut-Off Wheels 5/8-11 Thread

Precision Mounting for Industrial Abrasives

The Walter 30B022 Flange Set is a specialized abrasive accessory engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty metal fabrication and industrial cutting. Designed specifically for use with 9-inch cut-off wheels, this flange set ensures that large-diameter abrasives are mounted securely and concentrically onto power tools. The set features a 3-inch diameter profile, which provides the necessary surface area to clamp the wheel firmly without interfering with the cutting action, adhering to safety standards for large abrasive discs.

At the core of this set is the 5/8"-11 threaded connection, the standard spindle size for most North American industrial angle grinders and cutting tools. The precision machining of the threads ensures a smooth engagement with the tool's spindle, reducing the risk of cross-threading or seizing during wheel changes. This is particularly critical in high-throughput environments where downtime for tool maintenance must be minimized. The flange set acts as the critical interface between the high-torque motor of the grinder and the fragile matrix of the cut-off wheel, transmitting power efficiently while mitigating vibration.

Safety is the primary design philosophy behind the Walter 30B022. Using improper or worn flanges on 9-inch wheels can lead to catastrophic wheel failure due to uneven pressure or slippage. Walter Surface Technologies manufactures these flanges from high-grade steel to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses generated during prolonged cutting operations. The balanced design helps maintain the gyroscopic stability of the spinning wheel, which not only protects the operator but also extends the life of the abrasive by preventing edge chipping and uneven wear.

This set is an indispensable component for any workshop utilizing 9-inch grinders for structural steel cutting, pipe fitting, or demolition work. It replaces standard flanges that may not offer the correct profile for cut-off wheels, ensuring that the wheel is supported exactly where the manufacturer intends. By maintaining the correct clamping pressure, the Walter 30B022 Flange Set allows operators to push their tools to the limit with confidence, knowing that the abrasive is secured by hardware that meets the highest industrial standards.
