X-LOCK Lets You Change Grinder Wheels in a Snap

Oct. 24, 2019
An advanced interface makes an accessory change up to 5x faster.

X-LOCK interface for angle grinders sets the bar high for industry standards by making accessory changes simpler and more cost-effective than ever before.

 

X-LOCK joins a collection of technically advanced tool interfaces including SDS-plus and SDS-max systems and Starlock oscillating technology. The first-of-its-kind interface alleviates complexity by offering a tool-free grinder wheel change that eliminates the need for spanner wrenches or flange nuts. There's an audible snap when mounting an X-LOCK wheel on an X-LOCK grinder confirming a secure, proper connection. The wheel is released from the grinder with the pull of a lever, a process that is up to 5x faster than conventional interfaces.

 

Bosch is also releasing a focused assortment of X-LOCK accessories to cover core applications in metalworking and concrete cutting including, but not limited to bonded wheels, diamond wheels, flaps discs, wire wheels and cups, backing pads, and fiber discs. With the exception of wire wheels and wire cups, most accessories are backward compatible with standard 7/8-in. mounts. Bosch is partnering with various manufacturers to bring widespread access to the interface as it relates to accessories.
