OVERVIEW

Solve Arbor Size Mismatches Instantly

Have you ever ordered a box of high-performance cutting wheels only to find they have a 40mm arbor hole while your shop's saw has a 1-1/2 inch spindle? It’s a common frustration in the welding and fabrication industry, but the solution is simple. The Walter 40mm to 1-1/2" Bushing (10A992) is the perfect adapter to get you back to work immediately. This small but mighty accessory allows you to mount 40mm bore wheels onto 1-1/2 inch shafts securely and safely, ensuring you don't have to return inventory or buy a new machine.

At Welders Supply, we know that downtime costs money. That's why we stock essential accessories like this Walter bushing. It isn't just a spacer; it is a precision ring designed to lock your wheel in place. When a wheel isn't centered perfectly, it wobbles. That wobble ruins your cut quality, wears out your machine's bearings, and creates a safety hazard for the operator. This Walter bushing fits tight, ensuring your wheel spins true from the moment you hit the power button. It is an inexpensive insurance policy for your equipment and a necessary tool for versatile shops.

Installation is effortless. Simply insert the bushing into the 40mm arbor hole of your abrasive wheel or brush, and then slide the assembly onto the 1-1/2 inch spindle of your stationary cut-off machine. The bushing is designed to stay put during the mounting process, making wheel changes quick and hassle-free. Whether you are working with large chop saws or specialized bench grinders, keep a few of these adapters in your toolbox to ensure you can always use the right wheel for the job, regardless of the bore size.

Why Choose Walter Accessories?

Perfect Fit: No more makeshift solutions; get the right part for the job.
Enhanced Safety: Secure mounting prevents wheel slippage and accidents.

FAQ

This bushing converts a 40mm outer diameter (wheel arbor) to a 1-1/2 inch inner diameter (machine spindle).

No, this bushing is typically designed for stationary cut-off machines or bench grinders with 1-1/2 inch shafts. Handheld grinders usually have much smaller spindles (e.g., 5/8"-11 or 7/8").

Yes, the bushing is reusable. However, it should be inspected for wear or deformation during every wheel change to ensure a safe fit.

Walter bushings are typically made from durable industrial-grade materials designed to withstand the compression and torque of tightening the flange without deforming.

No, the bushing is precision-manufactured to ensure the wheel remains perfectly centered, which actually helps prevent wobble and vibration.

No, the bushing is a friction fit. It simply slides into the wheel's arbor hole and is held in place by the machine's mounting flanges.

Yes, as long as the abrasive wheel has a 40mm arbor hole and the machine has a 1-1/2 inch spindle, this bushing will work regardless of the wheel brand.

Abrasive wheels are manufactured globally. 40mm is a common metric standard, while 1-1/2 inch is a common imperial spindle size. This adapter bridges the two standards.
