48L028 - Walter 48-L-028 Mounting Flange for Blendex U and FX Discs

Secure Mounting for Precision Finishing

The Walter 48L028 Sealing Flange is a critical accessory designed to expand the capabilities of your standard angle grinder. In the world of industrial metalworking, versatility is key, and this specialized flange allows operators to mount specific non-threaded abrasive wheels—such as the renowned Blendex U finishing wheels and FX cleaning discs—directly onto a standard 5/8"-11 grinder spindle. By bridging the gap between rough grinding tools and precision finishing consumables, this flange enables a seamless transition between material removal and surface conditioning tasks.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this sealing flange is engineered for safety and performance. Unlike standard grinding wheel nuts which may not provide the correct clamping surface for non-woven or composite wheels, the 48L028 is designed to grip the wheel core securely. This prevents slippage during operation, ensuring that the abrasive media performs consistently and that the operator remains safe. The flange acts as a stabilizer, reducing vibration and ensuring the wheel runs true, which is essential for achieving a uniform finish on stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals.

Using the correct mounting hardware is not just a matter of convenience; it is a safety requirement. The Walter 48L028 ensures that the unique geometry of Blendex U and FX discs is accommodated perfectly. Whether you are cleaning welds, removing rust, or applying a satin finish to a railing, this flange provides the mechanical integrity needed for the job. It is a small but indispensable part of the Walter abrasive system, ensuring that your investment in high-quality abrasives yields the best possible results.

Ideal for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) environments, as well as fabrication shops, this flange is durable and built to last. It resists the wear and tear of daily industrial use. By keeping a 48L028 Sealing Flange in your toolkit, you ensure that your shop is always ready to handle complex finishing challenges using your existing fleet of angle grinders.
