OVERVIEW

Maximize Tool Compatibility with Walter Reducer Bushings

The Walter 7/8" to 5/8" Reducer Bushing (10A984) is an essential accessory for any metal fabrication shop or industrial environment utilizing abrasive cutting and grinding tools. Designed to bridge the gap between different equipment standards, this precision-engineered bushing allows you to mount abrasive wheels with a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole onto angle grinders or power tools equipped with a 5/8-inch spindle. This simple yet critical component ensures that your inventory of high-performance wheels can be used across a wider variety of tools, maximizing versatility and reducing the need to stock duplicate wheels for different grinders.

Safety and performance are paramount when operating high-speed abrasive equipment. A loose or improper fit between the wheel and the spindle can lead to dangerous vibrations, wheel wobble, and poor cutting results. The Walter 10A984 bushing provides a snug, concentric fit that centers the wheel perfectly on the shaft. This stability not only enhances operator safety but also extends the life of the wheel by preventing uneven wear and reducing stress on the grinder's bearings. Whether you are using cutting discs, grinding wheels, or flap discs, this bushing ensures a professional and secure connection every time.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this reducer bushing is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use. It is easy to install—simply press it into the arbor hole of the wheel before mounting it to the tool. Its durable construction ensures it maintains its shape and integrity even under the heat and pressure of heavy-duty grinding applications. Keep a supply of these bushings on hand to ensure your team is never halted by a simple compatibility issue.

FAQ

The primary function is to reduce the arbor hole size of an abrasive wheel from 7/8 of an inch to 5/8 of an inch, allowing it to fit on tools with smaller spindles.

While designed by Walter, it is generally compatible with most standard abrasive wheels that feature a 7/8-inch arbor hole, provided the thickness allows for proper seating.

Yes, the bushing can typically be reused if it remains in good condition and is not deformed or damaged during removal from the previous wheel.

Yes, as long as the bushing is properly installed and the wheel is securely tightened with the flange nut, it is safe for use on high-speed angle grinders.

Simply press the bushing into the center arbor hole of the abrasive wheel until it sits flush, then mount the wheel onto the grinder spindle as usual.

No, a properly fitted bushing actually improves balance by ensuring the wheel is perfectly centered on the spindle, reducing wobble and vibration.

These bushings are typically made from durable materials designed to withstand the compression and heat generated during grinding operations.
