The thickness of the mandrel is clearly not 1/2 inch. Impossible to attach panels without washers or bushings

This is advertised as 1/2 inch thick, 5/16 inch at best - what? That means? It's best to have bushings or washers handy, otherwise your nut, fully tightened, won't be able to secure the steel wheel between the plates. My wheel doesn't even spin because it was so loose. I assume it will fit safely in my 6" WEN 4276 2.1A Benchtop Sander with Flexible Work Light as it is even offered with the sander purchase. Must include bushings or clearly state actual wheel thickness.

Pros
  • Abrasives and varnishes
Cons
  • Concise instructions

You get what you pay for Quality

BE CAREFUL IF YOU BUY THIS WITH A 6" WEN BENCH GRINDER - you will definitely need additional sets of flanges, washers or something like a middle spoke wheel! You may also need a 5/8" to 1/2" mandrel adapter if you are unfortunate enough to have the plastic adapter that SHOULD INCLUDED fall out of the box. Aside from the trueing issue with this spoked wheel (I know it's because I didn't have a bench grinder prior to the 6" wen I have now), I give this item 2 stars. I've had it for a little over…

it's 5/16 " at best, maybe

My grinder uses a 1/2" axle so I had to use a plastic ring to mount it (otherwise the mandrel size is 5/8". ) . The shim was too thin (the grinding wheel I removed was 1/2" thick, that's 5/16" at best, maybe? The shim is in place. I was concerned that the extra space in the wheel housing would reduce the Would cause wires to come apart but it didn't, they held their shape quite well which is really good as it doesn't scratch the inside of my wheel well I was afraid it would put extra stress on…

Pros
  • Grinding brushes
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
