OVERVIEW

Get a Grip on Your Grinding Wheels

You've got the grinder, and you've got the wheel, but if you can't mount it right, you aren't getting any work done. That's where the Walter 08B002 Throw-Away Adaptor comes in. This little piece of hardware is the key to running 1/8-inch thick wheels on your standard angle grinder. If you've ever tried to tighten down a thin wheel with a standard flange and felt it wobble, you know exactly why you need this.

Built with a standard 5/8"-11 NC thread, this adaptor screws right onto your grinder's spindle. It's designed to clamp down specifically on 1/8" wheels, giving you a rock-solid connection. No slipping, no wobbling, just pure torque going from your motor to the metal. When you're 20 feet up on a scaffold or squeezed under a chassis, you need to trust your gear. This adaptor makes sure your cutting or grinding wheel stays exactly where it's supposed to be, so you can focus on the weld, not the tool.

Why call it "Throw-Away"? Because it's cheap enough that you don't have to cry if you lose one on the job site, but tough enough to handle the abuse of a real workday. It's a smart, cost-effective way to adapt your grinder for different jobs without carrying around a pocket full of expensive machined parts. It's perfect for those combo wheels that slice and grind, giving you the versatility to tackle multiple steps of a job without swapping tools constantly.

Don't risk your knuckles or your workpiece with a jury-rigged setup. Using the right adaptor means smoother cuts, less vibration, and a safer day in the shop. Whether you are prepping a joint, cutting out a patch, or smoothing down a bead, the Walter 08B002 ensures your wheel runs true. Toss a few of these in your toolbox so you're never stuck looking for the right flange when the sparks need to fly.

Built for the Daily Grind

Walter knows what welders need. This isn't some flimsy plastic toy; it's a functional piece of kit that holds up to heat and speed. It fits the standard grinders you already own—Metabo, Dewalt, Milwaukee, you name it—as long as they have that 5/8-11 shaft. Keep your operation running smooth and your wheels tight with the adaptor made for the job.
