What This Adapter Does
The Clesco M-3 Screw Lock-Type Wheel Adapter connects abrasive wheels to power tools. It accepts unthreaded holes of 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch on the abrasive side and fits a 1/4 inch straight shank on the tool side. This suits technicians who need a quick-change mount for surface preparation work.
Connector Limits
The adapter handles a maximum wheel thickness of 1/4 inch and has an outside flange diameter of 3/4 inch. Overall length is 2 1/8 inches. Wheels thicker than the stated limit or with larger centre holes will not mount securely, and the straight shank requires a compatible chuck or collet on the tool.
Installation Notes
Slide the adapter into the tool chuck and tighten; the screw-lock mechanism then clamps the wheel by its centre hole. The most common issue is insufficient chuck grip on the 1/4 inch shank, which causes slippage under load. Ensure the wheel sits flat against the flange and the lock screw engages the unthreaded hole fully before starting the tool.
