Walter Replacement Inner Flange for Angle Grinders

Get Your Grinder Back in the Fight

When you're in the middle of a heavy fabrication job, your angle grinder is your best friend. But even the toughest tools need maintenance, and the Walter 48E022 Gear Flange is the part you need when your grinder's mounting hardware starts to show signs of wear. This is the inner flange—the piece that sits right up against the gear housing—and it takes a beating every time you crank down on a new wheel. If your current flange is nicked, rounded off, or just plain worn out, it's time to swap it out before it causes a wobble that ruins your work or, worse, breaks a wheel.

This isn't just some cheap knock-off part; it's the genuine article from Walter Surface Technologies. That means it fits your Walter grinder exactly how it's supposed to. No guessing, no rattling, and no wondering if your cutting wheel is going to fly off at 10,000 RPM. It’s made from solid steel to handle the heat and pressure of daily grinding, cutting, and blending. A fresh flange means your wheels sit flat and spin true, which cuts down on that hand-numbing vibration and helps you get smoother finishes in less time.

Don't ignore your grinder's hardware. A bad flange can chew up your grinding wheels faster and put extra strain on the motor. Swapping in a new 48E022 is a quick, cheap fix that keeps your expensive tool running like new. Whether you are prepping pipe for a weld, grinding down a root pass, or polishing stainless, you need your gear to be solid. Keep a spare in your toolbox so you never get stuck with a down tool in the middle of a shift.

Built for the Shop Floor

We know that in the shop, equipment gets used hard. This flange is designed to take the abuse of industrial environments. It provides the solid backing your abrasives need to bite into the metal without slipping. If you are running Walter grinders, stick with Walter parts to keep them performing at their peak. It’s a small part that makes a big difference in safety and quality.
