Tork Craft Pig Tail for Bench Grinders 12mm Left Hand
Heading: 12mm left-hand mounting accessory for bench grinders
The Tork Craft TCPT012-01 pig tail is a left-hand threaded arbor accessory designed for bench grinders that use a 12mm spindle. Built for secure mounting of grinding wheels, cutting wheels, polishing wheels and other bench-grinder attachments, it provides a reliable fit that keeps your wheels running true at high RPM.
Its left-hand orientation prevents the wheel from loosening during operation, offering safer and more stable performance — essential in both workshop and industrial grinding environments.
Extra Information
- Confirm your grinder uses a 12mm spindle and left-hand threading before installation.
- Ensure the mounting surfaces and wheel bore are clean for proper seating.
- Always use wheels rated for the grinder’s RPM and appropriate for the pig tail’s spindle size.
Pro Tip
- When installing a new wheel, hand-tighten the pig tail until seated, then lightly secure it with the appropriate locking nut. Running the grinder at no-load speed for a few seconds helps confirm correct alignment before applying pressure.
