Easy to Use
Using the 3M Flange Adapter is simple, and provides the ability 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.
