Angle GrindersModel Number: 44-40-0035The Milwaukee 44-40-0035 is a genuine OEM Flange Nut for a wide range of Milwaukee 4-1/2 in., 5 in., and 6 in. angle grinders including the 6117, 6121, 6124, 6140, 6146, 6147, and 6161 series as well as cordless models including the 2680-20, 2780-20, and 2781-20 among many others. The flange nut is the outer locking nut that threads onto the grinder’s 5/8-11 spindle over the grinding wheel or disc to clamp it securely against the inner disc flange on the other side of the wheel. The correct installation sequence is: inner flange (43-34-0036, sold separately) on the spindle first, then the grinding wheel, then the flange nut threaded on and tightened using a spanner wrench in the holes of the flange nut. A stripped, cross-threaded, or missing flange nut that no longer securely retains the grinding wheel on the spindle requires immediate replacement before the grinder is put back into service.Using a genuine Milwaukee OEM flange nut ensures the correct 5/8-11 thread pitch and clamping geometry for the compatible grinder spindles. Always verify your catalog number and serial number before ordering to confirm this is the correct flange nut for your specific unit.FeaturesGenuine Milwaukee OEM 5/8-11 outer flange nut for select Milwaukee 4-1/2 in., 5 in., and 6 in. angle grindersCompatible with 6117, 6121, 6124, 6140, 6146, 6147, 6161 series and cordless models 2680-20 and 2780-20 verify by serial numberThreads onto the 5/8-11 spindle over the grinding wheel to clamp it against the inner disc flangeInner disc flange 43-34-0036 sold separately use a spanner wrench for tighteningA stripped or missing flange nut requires immediate replacement before returning the grinder to serviceSpecificationsType: Outer Flange NutThread Size: 5/8-11Outer Diameter: 1.70 in.Height: 0.39 in.Compatible Tools: Select Milwaukee 4-1/2 in., 5 in., and 6 in.
