- is there's a grinder flange pair with thread 3/8" x 24UNF ?
Does anyone happen to know if there's a grinder flange pair, i.e. its spacer and fastener flanges, with 3/8" x 24UNF thread instead of M10 x 1.5?
Need arose in making one of most common drill (here is mine) with 3/8" 24UNF shaft connector to function as grinder being able to use every kind of disc: cutting, grinding, wire disc, mounted straight onto itBaluncore said:If you have not found one yet, I think it is most unlikely.
Can you better describe exactly what you are trying to do?
24 TPI is a very fine thread for use on such a large flange nut, and it will almost certainly over-tighten in use and become locked solid. You will probably then break the locking mechanism while trying to undo the flange nut.
To remove a jammed abrasive disc from a grinder, heat the nut and disc with a flame. At about 150 °C, the polymer binder in the disc will collapse, so it can be undone easily.
Some adaptors are available for M14 and M10, to fit a 3-jaw chuck or an extender to an angle grinder. You might fabricate a similar adaptor for your application. Take care.

This one has a 3/8" UNF.

But your drill may only have thrust bearings, which will not work for radial loads like a grinder experiences...abdulbadii said:making one of most common drill (here is mine) with 3/8" 24UNF shaft connector to function as grinder
The angle grinder flange pair in UNF is used to secure the grinding wheel onto the angle grinder. It acts as a support and ensures that the grinding wheel is held in place during use.
UNF stands for Unified National Fine, which is a standard thread size used in the United States for fasteners, including the flange pair on angle grinders.
No, it is important to use the correct flange pair for the specific grinding wheel being used. Using the wrong flange pair can result in the grinding wheel becoming loose and causing accidents.
You can check the user manual or the manufacturer's website for your angle grinder to see if it is compatible with UNF flange pairs. It is important to use the correct flange pair to ensure safe and proper use of the angle grinder.
Yes, it is important to always wear protective gear, such as safety glasses and gloves, when using an angle grinder. Make sure to also follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use and maintenance of the angle grinder and its flange pair.
