Left side shaft of Baldor 1/2hp out of the box. Shaft is 5/8" diameter and 3.25" long and will require a spacer approximately 1" long. The discs will only fit on shafts that are 5/8" diameter. If you have shorter shafts you may not require a 1" spacer but will likely need a spacer of some length to secure safely.
FootPro™ Double Sided Bench Grinder Disc Mounting Instructions
Left side shaft of Baldor 1/2hp out of the box. Shaft is 5/8" diameter and 3.25" long and will require a spacer approximately 1" long. The discs will only fit on shafts that are 5/8" diameter. If you have shorter shafts you may not require a 1" spacer but will likely need a spacer of some length to secure safely.
Out of the box, the baldor has a pin in the shaft to hold a flange in place. This will need to be removed before installation.
Using a nail cutter, squeeze with just enough pressure to be able to roll the cutter back and pull the pin out. Do not cut the pin.
Pin removed. The pin hole may have a slight burr that needs to be removed.
Use a fine metal file or a piece of emery cloth or very fine sandpaper to remove the burr.
Slide a 1" long bushing (spacer) with 5/8" hole on the shaft. The one shown is sold separately by your FPD dealer. If you already have a 1" long bushing that has a 5/8" hole it should work.
Slide the flange that came with the Baldor grinder on the shaft.
Slide your disc on the shaft. It has a 5/8" arbor so it needs nothing to keep it centered on the 5/8" shaft.
Be sure you have the rotation correct. Failure to mount it for the right direction will likely cause damage to the disc and risk of injury. You can mount it on either side of your grinder but it must still be mounted in the right direction.
Slide second flange onto shaft and against the disc.
Put the shaft nut on and tighten. Remember that the threads on the left side of a grinder are left hand threads.
