Weiler 97717 Wire Wheel Adapter 2 to 1-1/4 Inches

Product Description

The WEILER 97717 is a metal wire wheel adapter designed to reduce a 2-inch arbor hole to a 1-1/4-inch mounting size. This adapter allows wire wheels, wire cups, and similar abrasive accessories with a 2-inch center bore to be mounted on spindles and angle grinders with a 1-1/4-inch arbor. The metal construction provides the rigidity and concentricity needed for safe high-speed wire wheel operation. Fabricators, welders, and metal finishing tradespeople use this type of adapter when mixing wire wheel accessories across different tool platforms or when replacing worn wheels with a different bore size.

This adapter is suited for industrial and trade environments where wire wheel accessories must be fitted to bench grinders, angle grinders, or pedestal grinders with non-matching arbor sizes. It is a common solution in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field service work where multiple grinder platforms are in use. The adapter ships individually and is intended for single-unit installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always disconnect power or remove the tool battery before mounting or removing any wheel or adapter. Ensure the adapter is fully seated and the wheel retaining nut is secured per the tool manufacturer's torque guidance before resuming operation. Follow ANSI B11 and applicable OSHA abrasive wheel safety standards when operating wire wheels at speed.
