OVERVIEW

Get Your Grinder Running Right

There is nothing more frustrating in the shop than grabbing a fresh wire wheel or grinding disc, only to find out the center hole is too big for your machine. You've got work to do, and you don't have time to order a new wheel. That is where the Walter 48M413 Reducing Bushing comes in to save the day. Designed specifically to adapt a 2-inch arbor hole down to a 1-1/4-inch shaft, this simple yet vital accessory ensures you can use the right wheel for the job, regardless of your grinder's shaft size.

Fabricators and welders know that balance is everything when it comes to stationary grinding. If your wheel isn't centered perfectly, your bench grinder is going to walk across the floor, and the vibration will numb your hands in minutes. Worse, an unbalanced wheel is a safety hazard that can disintegrate at speed. Walter Surface Technologies builds these bushings to fit tight and stay true. When you slide these into your wheel and mount it to your 1-1/4" shaft, you get a lock-up that feels like the wheel was custom-made for your machine. No wobble, no bounce—just smooth, consistent rotation.

These adapters are perfect for heavy-duty wire brushes used for cleaning slag, stripping paint, or prepping weld seams. They are tough enough to handle the torque of startup and the heat of continuous use without deforming. Don't let a mismatch in specs stop your production line. Keep a set of Walter 48M413 bushings in your toolbox or supply cabinet so you are always ready to mount whatever abrasive you have on hand. It’s a small part that makes a massive difference in how your shop operates.

  • Reliable Performance: Keeps your grinder running smooth and quiet.
  • Cost Saver: Allows you to use existing inventory on different machines.

FAQ

This bushing reduces a 2-inch arbor hole to fit a 1-1/4-inch shaft.

These are typically supplied as a pair to support the wheel on both sides of the arbor for a secure fit.

Yes, as long as the wire wheel has a 2-inch arbor hole and the thickness accommodates the bushing, it should work universally.

Walter bushings are typically made from high-density industrial polymer or metal, designed to withstand the compression and heat of grinding operations.

Absolutely. A properly sized bushing ensures the wheel is centered (concentric) on the shaft, which significantly reduces vibration and wobble.

Yes, this is specifically designed for stationary machinery like bench and pedestal grinders with 1-1/4" shafts.

No special tools are required. The bushing simply presses into the arbor hole of the wheel by hand before mounting.

Yes, they are durable and can be transferred to a new wheel when the old one wears out, provided they are not damaged.
