OVERVIEW

Get the Right Fit for Your Bench Grinder Wheels

There is nothing more frustrating than grabbing a fresh grinding wheel or wire brush off the shelf only to find it doesn't fit your bench grinder's shaft. The Walter 13B015 Telescoping Bushing is the shop-floor problem solver that ensures you can mount your abrasives quickly and get back to work. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in industrial surface treatment, this bushing set is built to handle the rigors of daily use while providing the adaptability needed in busy welding and fabrication shops.

This clever accessory works by adapting wheels with a standard 1-inch center hole to fit smaller shafts. It features a nested design that includes steps for 7/8-inch, 3/4-inch, 5/8-inch, and 1/2-inch shafts. If your grinder has a 5/8-inch shaft, for example, the bushing fills the gap perfectly, centering the wheel and locking it in place. The material is durable enough to withstand the compression of the mounting flanges without cracking, yet resilient enough to grip the wheel securely, preventing slippage during heavy grinding or deburring tasks.

Using the correct bushing is not just about convenience; it is a critical safety measure. An ill-fitting wheel can wobble, creating hazardous vibration that can shatter the wheel or damage the grinder motor. By using the Walter 13B015, you ensure a tight, balanced connection every time. It is an indispensable item for any welder's toolbox or maintenance department, ensuring that your 6-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch, or 10-inch bench wheels are always compatible with the equipment available. Don't let a mismatched arbor size stop your production; keep a supply of these bushings on hand for seamless equipment maintenance.

Practical Shop Applications

  • Machine Adaptation: Easily move wheels between different grinders with varying shaft sizes.
  • Secure Mounting: Provides the necessary surface area for flanges to grip, ensuring torque transfer.
  • Vibration Control: Eliminates the "slop" between the wheel and shaft that causes chatter and poor finishes.
