OVERVIEW

Essential Mandrel for Die Grinders

Equip your shop with the Walter 1/4" x 5/16" Mandrel (11L002), the reliable connection you need between your die grinder and your abrasive wheels. In the fast-paced world of welding and fabrication, having the right mounting hardware is just as important as having the right abrasive. This mandrel is built to handle the daily grind, literally. It allows you to securely mount 2-inch wheels with a 5/16-inch center hole onto any tool with a 1/4-inch collet, making it a versatile addition to your toolbox.

Fabricators know that a loose or unbalanced wheel is not only annoying but dangerous. The Walter 11L002 is designed to lock your abrasive wheels in place firmly. The 1/4-inch shank is machined to strict tolerances to prevent slipping in the collet, ensuring that all the power from your motor is transferred directly to the cut or grind. This positive drive system helps you get the job done faster and with better control. The assembly includes the necessary washer and nut to clamp the wheel tight, preventing slippage during start-up or under heavy load.

Perfect for automotive work, custom metal fabrication, and general maintenance, this mandrel turns your die grinder into a multi-purpose finishing tool. Whether you are cleaning up a weld seam in a tight corner or prepping a surface for painting, this adapter gives you the reach and stability you need. Don't let inferior hardware slow you down or compromise your finish quality. Trust in Walter's engineering to keep your wheels spinning true and your work looking professional.
