My angle grinder has a 5/8" arbor. I found some flap disks with 7/8" arbor hole. I have a reducer bushing that fixes this difference, but it came with a wet-dry blade, for concrete/masonry work. That masonry blade is flat, but the flap disk appears to have a slight offset.
If it matters, my grinder is a Bosch 1380 slim. The flap disk is BOSTITCH BSA8207M 4-1/2" x 7/8" Z60 T29, here:

BTW, I know I can get a 5/8" flap disk; these Bostitch 7/8" are just way cheaper.

the bushings i have are 2 sided, one side has a thinner "step" that the other side.

i use the thin side for cutoff disks, the thicker side for grinding wheels and flap disks.

I'm not understanding the problem.... Does the spindle nut not fit in the "cup" on the flap disk? Have you flipped the nut upside down?
