Norton 63642543318 Flap Wheel Adapter 1/4-20 Thread

Product Description

The NORTON 63642543318 is a flap wheel adapter designed to mount flap wheels onto rotary tools, die grinders, and drill chucks. The adapter features a 1/4-20 threaded stud for secure flap wheel attachment and a 1/4 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard collet-style chucks and drill drivers. At 1 inch in overall length and weighing under 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight accessory used by metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians who require quick flap wheel changes in the field or at a workbench.

This adapter is suited for use in metal finishing, surface preparation, and deburring applications where a flap wheel must be driven by a rotary or drill-type tool. It is commonly used in light industrial, manufacturing, and MRO maintenance settings. The 1/4-20 threaded interface is a widely used standard for abrasive flap wheel hubs, making this adapter a practical fit for general shop use.

• 1 inch overall length provides a low-profile, rigid connection between tool and wheel

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use with flap wheels that feature a 1/4-20 threaded arbor, driven by rotary tools or drills with a 1/4 inch collet or chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by trade machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Before mounting or removing the adapter, ensure the rotary tool or drill is powered off and unplugged or the battery is removed. Thread the flap wheel onto the 1/4-20 stud by hand until snug, and insert the 1/4 inch shank fully into the tool chuck before tightening. Do not exceed the RPM rating of the mounted flap wheel.
