An arbor reducer bushing is an essential accessory for anyone working with bench grinding wheels. The Forney 72396 is a plastic reducing bushing adapter designed to adapt your 1-inch arbor to multiple smaller sizes, allowing you to use grinding wheels with different arbor requirements on the same grinder. Whether you’re sharpening tools, grinding edges, or working on detail projects, this bushing lets you switch between different wheel sizes without needing additional equipment.
This reducer solves the common problem of arbor size incompatibility. Instead of being limited to wheels that fit your grinder’s original arbor size, you can now use wheels designed for 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch, or 3/4-inch arbors on your 1-inch bench grinder.
Features and Benefits
- Multi-Size Compatibility: Reduces a 1-inch arbor to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), 5/8 inch (15.88 mm), or 3/4 inch (19.05 mm), giving you flexibility to use various grinding wheels.
- Plastic Construction: Made from durable plastic that resists wear from frequent grinding operations and handling.
- Lightweight Design: Minimal weight ensures the bushing won’t add bulk to your toolkit or grinder setup.
