Bosch 1600501017 Backing Flange for Angle Grinders 230mm

The Bosch 1600501017 backing flange is a precision-engineered component designed specifically for angle grinders with a 230 mm disc diameter. Constructed from durable metal, this flange provides the necessary support and stability required for mounting grinding and cutting discs securely to the tool spindle. It serves as a critical interface that ensures the disc remains centered and firmly attached during high-speed operation, which is essential for maintaining both the accuracy of your work and the safety of the operator.

Advantages

This backing flange offers exceptional reliability due to its robust metal construction, which withstands the mechanical stresses encountered during heavy-duty grinding and cutting tasks. By ensuring a precise fit for 230 mm discs, it minimizes vibrations and prevents disc slippage, thereby enhancing the overall performance and longevity of your angle grinder. Its high-quality design makes it a dependable replacement part that helps maintain consistent tool operation in demanding professional environments.

Suitable for

• Securing grinding discs on 230 mm angle grinders
• Mounting cutting discs for metalworking applications
• Professional construction and metal fabrication tasks
• DIY home improvement projects requiring large-diameter discs

When it may not be suitable

This backing flange is specifically designed for 230 mm angle grinders and is not compatible with smaller grinders, such as those using 115 mm or 125 mm discs. Attempting to use this component with incompatible tool sizes may result in improper disc seating and unsafe operating conditions.

Key specifications

• Compatibility: Angle grinders with 230 mm disc diameter
• Material: Durable metal
• Color: Stainless steel
• Function: Disc mounting and stabilization

How to use

To install the backing flange, first ensure that the angle grinder is disconnected from the power source. Place the flange onto the tool spindle, ensuring it seats correctly against the drive mechanism. Once the flange is in position, place your grinding or cutting disc onto the spindle, followed by the locking nut. Tighten the locking nut securely using the appropriate pin wrench provided with your grinder to ensure the disc is held firmly in place before starting the tool.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the disc diameter of your angle grinder is exactly 230 mm
• Check the compatibility of your specific grinder model with standard Bosch mounting flanges
• Ensure the spindle thread size matches your tool requirements

Usage recommendations

Always inspect the backing flange for signs of wear or damage before each use. If the surface appears deformed or cracked, replace the component immediately to maintain safe operation and prevent potential disc failure.
