Bosch Professional Locking Nuts at Tooled-Up.com
Bosch Professional Locking Nuts are the clamping nuts that hold cutting and grinding discs on angle grinders and similar tools. They are not general-purpose fasteners. Each one is made to fit a specific Bosch spindle, so you get a secure, like-for-like fit. The selection includes the Bosch 1603345004 M14 Flange Nut for 180mm to 230mm angle grinders, the Bosch Backing Flange Nut for 115mm to 230mm grinders, and the standard Bosch M14 Angle Grinder Locking Nut.
Tooled-Up.com also stocks nuts for older and newer systems. These include Pre 1990 Angle Grinder Locking Nuts, the Bosch Quick Locking Nut for the GWS 18V-10 C and SC, and the Round Locking Nut for flat disc GCS cutters. If you are moving to quick-change accessories, the PRO SDS Clic Flange and the PRO X-Lock Adapter are also available.
Key Features of Bosch Professional Locking Nuts
- M14 thread: This is the standard fitting on most professional grinders in the 115mm to 230mm range, so replacements are simple and match the original.
- Flange design: The flange nut clamps fibre discs firmly, so the disc stays secure and doesn't slip under load.
- Quick-change options: The Quick Locking Nut, SDS Clic and X-Lock adapter make disc changes faster, which saves time when you swap between cutting, grinding and finishing.
- Model-specific fits: Pre 1990 nuts and GCS cutter nuts suit older and specialist machines, so you can keep a reliable tool in service rather than replacing it.
- Matched Bosch components: A genuine nut sits properly against the backing flange and spindle, which helps keep the disc running true.

- Builders and groundworkers – cutting masonry, paving and rebar on site.
- Plant and maintenance engineers – keeping older grinders working with Pre 1990 nuts.
- Tool hire and workshop teams – replacing worn or lost nuts quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right Bosch locking nut?
Check your grinder's model, spindle thread (usually M14) and disc size. Older machines may need a Pre 1990 nut, while the GWS 18V-10 C and SC use the Quick Locking Nut.
Can I use a flange nut with any disc?
The Bosch 1603345004 is designed for fibre discs on 180mm and 230mm grinders. Always check that the nut and backing flange suit the disc type and size you are using.
When should I replace a locking nut?
Replace it if the threads are worn or damaged, or if the clamping faces are distorted. A damaged nut can stop the disc being held securely, so swap it before it affects safety.
