3M™ Flange Adapters adapt a wheel with a 1-inch center hole to fit onto a tool with a shaft smaller than one inch. You can use them on tools including bench grinders and die grinders. It also adapts any wheel with a 1-inch center hole. 3M offers two types: a stamped metal Flange Adapter 3, or a telescoping Flange Adapter 5.

High Quality Materials, Reliable Fit
3M™ Flange Adapters add versatility to tools by ensuring a secure fit for abrasive wheels when the wheel’s internal diameter core size is larger than the shaft of the tool. 3M makes these stamped metal or plastic telescoping adapters exactly to size from quality materials to ensure reliable tool attachment and abrasive performance.

Flange Adapter 5 is a plastic telescoping piece that conveniently adapts a 1-inch wheel core to fit spindles of various diameters (1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″, or 7/8″). You have to use this adapter with a set of flat or cupped washers a minimum of 1/3 the diameter of the wheel for side support.

Easy to Use
3M™ Flange Adapter enables you to adapt wheels of 1” center hole size to a variety of smaller shaft sizes. Just place the adapter into the wheel’s center hole and fit it onto the tool or bench motor shaft. Be sure to use any flanges, washers, or retaining nuts as appropriate to safely mount the wheel to the shaft. These adapters work easily with most tools, and are used most commonly with hand and bench motors. Rather than ordering a new set of abrasive wheels with custom center hole sizes or additional tools with different shaft diameters, use these adapters to save time and money.
