- Drill Arbor Adapter Mandrel for Buffing and Grinding Wheels, 1/2-inch Diameter

I ordered three of these drill arbors thinking that while they seem a bit pricey, they appeared to offer more substantial support than others that I had to choose from. When I received them, I was surprised to see how beefy and well they are made. The quality is excellent and the washers provide a stability that helps the aluminum discs that I mounted to run smooth and true. They are a very good value for the money.

Bought this to try a new way of sharpening my woodworking tools. I read about a different method of honing sharp edges (chisels and plane irons) that included using a buffing wheel and homing compound to create a small bevel on the tools and wanted to give it a try. I purchased a rigid cotton buffing wheel, mounted it on this drill arbor and coated the cotton with some honing compound. Everything worked as expected and the edges on the tools that I used for the experiment are super sharp. From the limited use of the tools it also appears that they will be staying sharp a little longer than just using water and/or diamond stones alone. The mandrel worked great and was very easy to set up. Recommended.

Its a simple tool, but it works exactly as described, it does what you want a tool to do most, it's intended job with no surprises.

Worked just fine with a polishing wheel. Not sure why the threaded portion is so long. It would be better if the chuck portion was longer, but it worked fine.

got it quickly, just what I wanted.

These will work ok for intended purpose, i.e. mounting a 1 1/4 inch wheel. A little caveat; the threads are right handed instead of left handed, and not really correct for standard (right hand or clockwise) rotation. A tight application, frequent checking, and maybe a little blue Loctite® might be prudent.

Received order quickly and the material worked very well.

Works perfect

£16.96 as reviewed. Item is decent enough quality and works as expected, did seem to be expensive but considering it is 5/8 is about average. Ideal solution for when the workpiece is too cumbersome or too heavy to offer up to a bench polisher.

Well made and reliable

This drill arbor adapter is straightforward to use and allows you to mount 5/8-inch arbor hole discs and wheels onto a standard drill. With the right discs, it effectively turns your drill into a buffer, grinder, or polisher, making it a versatile addition to any DIY toolkit. The spacer thickness is adjustable up to an inch, so it can accommodate a range of disc sizes without issue. In use, it works smoothly and feels secure once tightened down. The price—just under £17—is a touch on the high side, but given that it’s a specialised tool that opens up multiple functions for your drill, it still represents decent value.
