Weiler 97715 Wire Wheel Adapter 2 in to 3/4 in

Product Description

The WEILER 97715 is a metal wire wheel adapter designed to reduce a 2-inch arbor hole down to a 3/4-inch arbor size, allowing wire wheels with larger center bores to mount on smaller-arbor angle grinders and bench grinders. This adapter provides a secure, properly centered fit that maintains wheel alignment during operation. It is a compact, single-piece metal component weighing 0.18 pounds. Fabrication shops, welding professionals, and maintenance technicians typically keep adapters like this on hand to maximize compatibility across their wire wheel inventory without purchasing additional tooling.

This adapter is suited for use in metal fabrication, weld prep, surface cleaning, and rust removal applications where a wire wheel is mounted to a grinder with a 3/4-inch arbor but the wheel itself is bored to 2 inches. It is a straightforward drop-in solution for bench grinder and angle grinder setups common in industrial, commercial, and professional trade environments.

Key Features

• Reduces 2-inch arbor hole to 3/4-inch arbor size for cross-compatibility
• Metal construction for durability under rotational load
• Lightweight at 0.18 pounds — minimal added mass to the spindle assembly
• Single-piece adapter — no secondary hardware required for basic fitment
• Sold individually — one adapter per package

Compatibility

Designed for use with wire wheels that have a 2-inch center arbor hole, adapting them to grinders or benchtop units with a 3/4-inch spindle arbor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always power down and unplug the grinder before installing or removing any wheel adapter. Ensure the adapter seats flush and concentrically before tightening the arbor nut, and confirm the wheel is rated for the RPM of the tool in use. Follow ANSI B7.1 guidelines for safe mounting of abrasive and wire wheel accessories.
