48M480 - Walter 48-M-480 Replacement Switch for Maxi Grinder 6170

Genuine Walter Replacement Switch for Maxi Grinder 6170

The Walter 48-M-480 is a specialized replacement switch designed exclusively for the Walter Maxi Grinder 6170. As a critical component of the power tool's electrical system, this switch manages the flow of electricity to the motor, ensuring that the grinder starts and stops reliably upon operator command. In industrial environments where angle grinders are subjected to heavy use, dust, and vibration, internal electrical contacts can wear down over time. This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part is engineered to the exact specifications of the original switch found in the Model 6170, guaranteeing not just a physical fit within the handle housing but also the correct electrical rating to handle the tool's amperage draw.

Using non-OEM or generic switches in high-performance tools like the Maxi Grinder can lead to premature failure, overheating, or safety hazards. The 48-M-480 is built to withstand the rigorous demands of metalworking and fabrication environments. It features durable contact points and a robust mechanism that resists the ingress of conductive dust, which is common in grinding applications. Replacing a faulty switch is often the most cost-effective solution to extend the lifecycle of a high-quality power tool, preventing the need for a complete unit replacement when only a single component has reached the end of its service life.

Maintenance personnel and tool repair technicians rely on genuine Walter parts to ensure that repairs meet factory standards. This switch assembly is designed for straightforward installation, connecting directly to the existing wiring harness of the 6170 grinder without the need for modification. By restoring the crisp, tactile on/off action, this replacement part ensures that operators have immediate control over the tool, which is paramount for safety during high-speed grinding and cutting operations.

Whether you are refurbishing an older unit or repairing a tool that has lost power continuity, the Walter 48-M-480 provides the reliability expected from Walter Surface Technologies products. It is an essential spare part for any shop maintaining a fleet of Walter grinders, ensuring downtime is minimized and productivity remains high.
