Walter 48-K-143 Spacer Washer, 1/4-Inch Thick for 5/8-11 Spindles

Get the Right Fit for Your Grinder Wheels

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to mount a new wire wheel or flap disc only to find it doesn't sit quite right on the grinder. Maybe the threads bottom out before the wheel is tight, or the wheel rubs against the safety guard. The Walter 48-K-143 Spacer Washer is the simple solution to these common shop headaches. This 1/4-inch (6mm) thick metal spacer slides right onto your 5/8-11 grinder spindle, giving you the extra clearance or clamping thickness you need to get back to work safely.

Don't compromise safety by stacking random washers from the bolt bin. This purpose-built spacer is balanced and hardened to handle the high RPMs of an angle grinder. It is perfect for spacing out wire cup brushes that might otherwise hit the guard, or for ensuring that thinner cutting discs are clamped down tight by the flange nut. Keeping a few of these in your toolbox ensures you aren't stuck improvising when you need to switch abrasives in the middle of a fabrication job.

Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in industrial abrasives, this washer meets strict safety standards. It provides a flat, stable surface that won't wobble, ensuring your grinding wheels run true. Whether you are prepping a weld joint or finishing a stainless steel surface, having the correct mounting hardware is just as important as having the right abrasive.
