Custom CNC machined aluminum self-centering safety flange for use with 3" center buffing wheels. Mounts two buffs simultaneously. Fit adjusted has been adjusted to match Hilzinger buffs exclusively, forgoing Osborn; virtually eliminates vibration and assures quick mounting of buffing wheels. V3 further updated with extended outside diameter for maximum coverage of Hilzinger's new largest rings. Mounts directly without the need for an arbor nut. Molton flannel (24 ply) are particularly thick and require an arbor extension to mount.

Recommended for: Finishing and light cutting. For typical cut polishing with 3" center buffing wheels, we suggest our standard Self-Centering Safety Flange. To use buffing wheels with a 5″ center, you will need the XL Self-Centering Safety Flange.

Typical Application: For mounting and securing two 3” metal center wheels to portable grinders and polishers without the need for a shaft nut or a center reducer plate.

About: These safety flanges were designed as a quick change system when mounting metal center buffing wheels to portable power and air tools with a 5/8”-11 threaded arbor. They are self-centering meaning the inside 3” center section of each plate is raised to fit inside the clinch ring. This allows for tool-less installation, quicker mounts and dismounts, smooth and secure operation, and eliminates the need for a center reducer plate.
