Which tooling arm, bracket and axle hardware do I need?

Updated on Nov 14, 2026

Choose the tooling arm for your grinder first, then match the accessory and its mounting hardware. A shared 1.5 × 1.5-inch arm size does not confirm every mounting detail.

Steel or aluminum tooling arm?

Diktator offers both steel tooling arms and aluminum tooling arms. Check the current listing and the arm already fitted to your grinder. Material, length, mounting-hole position and threaded versus through holes all matter.

For a Mini Diktator or an older machine, send us a photo before ordering if the arm style is uncertain. Do not select an arm using chassis name alone when replacing older parts.

Tool rest or tilt table

Check whether the accessory includes its tooling arm. A separate arm can make changes between accessories easier. A tilt-table bracket is a separate component; check the mounting arrangement and included hardware for your selected rest/table.

Contact wheels and small-wheel holders

A contact wheel mounted on a tooling arm may need its own axle/arbor and hardware. A contact wheel is not automatically compatible with a small-wheel holder. Check the wheel bore, bearing arrangement and mounting instructions.

Use the bolt kit specified for the arm and accessory. Hardware for steel tubing and a tapped aluminum arm may differ. See Contact Wheel to Steel Tooling Arm and the two-/three-bearing wheel guides before assembly.
