Milwaukee 49-40-2783 FIXTEC Grinder Flange Nut

Milwaukee FIXTEC Tool-Free Grinder Flange NutModel Number: 49-40-2783The Milwaukee 49-40-2783 is the FIXTEC Tool-Free Grinder Flange Nut a replacement or additional locking nut for Milwaukee angle grinders equipped with Milwaukee’s FIXTEC tool-free accessory change system. Standard angle grinder wheel changes require a pin spanner wrench to loosen and tighten the flange nut a tool that must be tracked down, that can strip or round the spanner holes on the nut with repeated use, and that adds time to every wheel change when it isn’t immediately at hand. Milwaukee’s FIXTEC system replaces the standard locking nut with a flange nut that can be tightened and released by hand without any tools a quick-release lever or hand-tightening design that secures the grinding wheel with adequate clamping force for safe operation while allowing tool-free removal for fast wheel changes during work sessions where wheel type changes are frequent.Having a replacement FIXTEC nut available allows the grinder to be returned to service after the original nut is damaged, lost, or requires replacement from wear. The FIXTEC nut must be compatible with the specific Milwaukee grinder’s spindle thread and wheel size for correct clamping force and wheel retention verify that the 49-40-2783 is compatible with your specific Milwaukee angle grinder model before ordering, as flange nut specifications vary between Milwaukee grinder models and spindle configurations. Using the correct OEM FIXTEC nut maintains the tool-free wheel change convenience that the FIXTEC system was designed to provide throughout the grinder’s service life.See Milwaukee’s complete angle grinder accessory lineup for all available FIXTEC components and for replacement guards and flanges for Milwaukee grinders.FeaturesFIXTEC design for tool-free wheel installation and removal no pin spanner neededReplacement or additional nut for Milwaukee FIXTEC-equipped angle grindersAdequate clamping force for safe grinding while enabling fast tool-free wheel changesVerify compatibility with specific Milwaukee grinder model before orderingRestores FIXTEC tool-free wheel change convenience after original nut loss or damageSpecificationsType: FIXTEC Tool-Free Flange NutCompatible Tools: Milwaukee Angle Grinders with FIXTEC System (verify model)Includes(1) Milwaukee 49-40-2783 FIXTEC Tool-Free Grinder Flange Nut
