Weiler 56089 Die Grinder Cut-Off Wheel and Mandrel Kit Including 56490 Mandrel and 3-Inch x 1/16 Wolverine T1 Thin Wheels, A36T, 3/8 AH (1 Mandrel and 10 Cutting Discs)

This mandrel is much better then the previous one i was using. Im upset i only got the single arbor i seen other products out there that came with 2 but did not see it in the description. it was half the price of the units that came with both arbor screws so i cannot complain to much. It holds the disc tight and is a low profile that does not get in the way when getting into tight areas.

This is a perfect tool for me. I have a cordless tool that can take a 1/4 shank.

Well made very strong

Works well

I have two of these in two different grinders. They were both (and/or my grinders collets) a bit out of whack.. One of my grinders normally runs rather smoothly. But with this mandrel chucked in it, it vibrated so bad that the cutoff discs frayed, the switch fell apart, the power leads broke off, and the case ultrasonically welded itself together in two spots. I had to tap it with a hammer to get the halves apart. After repairing the grinder, I chucked this mandrel back in and turned it true with a thick cutoff disc in another grinder while this mandrel was spinning at 25K rpm. You can easily see where the high/low spots are, due to the black finish. When theres no more black, it should be better. After making it concentric and removing a bit of unnecessary mass from the head, the vibrations went away. I also noticed the discs did not sit flat, so I took the screw out and faced the part that the bottom of the disc sits on, too, using the same method. Unfortunately, I had no way to face the bottom of the disc retaining screw in situ, but it was close enough to begin with that the discs now sit perfectly flat, and I did not need to fudge with it by, say, adding a cardboard washer or an O-ring between the disc and the retaining screw. The grinder is now super smooth and working fantastic with this mandrel. I think Im gonna dedicate this grinder to cutoff discs, changing them out only with the mandrel screw. Im afraid I might lose some smoothness/concentricity if I re-chuck the mandrel. These mandrels are made of carbon steel and the screw and threading are fine. They are solid. They are cheap enough that I would recommend them. Just have another grinder or Dremel tool handy, I think after going through this, I would true up any large mandrel in situ on any tool rotating at ridiculous RPMs, unless it were chrome plated and extremely well balanced to begin with. Its very fast and easy. Just keep both grinders oriented the same direction when you grind: tip to tip, butt to butt. If you try to 69 it, the cutting disc will just loosen, itself. This makes me wonder how reversible air grinders keep the cutting disc in place.

It was better then I expected. I have a Matco angle grinder that I used the Madrel to cut races with. It had no problem running at 20k rpm. The bolt holds the disk great no slip or turning. Highly recommend this item.

Sometimes I just need to be able to use a cutter somewhere where I cant get an extension cord. I dont have a cordless grinder. So instead I will use this in a cordless drill. For small jobs that seem to work really well.

Exactly what I was looking for, to hold Cut-Off Wheels for My high speed drill

Works exactly as it should. Have not had any issues with it.
