OVERVIEW

Get Your Grinder Back to Work

Don't let a lost or damaged part stop your production. The Walter 48M531 Gear Flange Complete 5/8" is the exact replacement part you need to secure your grinding wheels and get back to fabrication. This is the inner flange that sits on the spindle of your Walter angle grinder, acting as the sturdy base for your grinding discs, cut-off wheels, and flap discs. If your current flange is nicked, warped, or missing, it can cause your wheels to wobble, creating dangerous vibrations and poor cutting results.

Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, this flange is built tough to handle the daily abuse of the welding shop. It fits perfectly on 5/8" spindles, ensuring your abrasives lock down tight when you tighten the outer nut. Using genuine parts means you don't have to worry about fitment issues—it slides right on and locks into place, just like the original. It is an affordable fix that extends the life of your grinder and improves the quality of your work by keeping the wheel steady.

Whether you are swapping out parts during routine maintenance or fixing a tool that's been out of commission, Welders Supply has you covered. This flange is essential for anyone running Walter grinders in their shop. Keep a spare in your toolbox so you never have to experience downtime due to a small missing piece. Trust genuine Walter parts for durability and safety.
