48S708 - Walter Replacement Pan Head Tapping Screw 3.5mm x 19mm

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S708 Screw 3.5X19 DIN 7971 is a specialized replacement component designed to maintain the structural integrity and operational safety of your Walter Surface Technologies power tools. When it comes to industrial equipment, every component plays a vital role, from the high-powered motor down to the smallest fastener. This specific screw is manufactured to the strict DIN 7971 standard, which specifies the requirements for pan head tapping screws with a slotted drive. Using genuine OEM parts like this ensures that your equipment remains compliant with factory specifications and continues to perform at the high level expected of the Walter brand.

Measuring 3.5mm in diameter and 19mm in length, this tapping screw is typically used to secure housing components, covers, or internal assemblies within Walter's range of grinders, sanders, and finishing tools. Tapping screws are designed to cut their own mating threads into materials such as plastic or sheet metal, creating a tight, vibration-resistant bond. Because of this interference fit, it is crucial to use the exact size specified by the manufacturer. Using a screw with a slightly different thread pitch or diameter can strip the receiving hole, potentially rendering the tool housing unusable or requiring expensive repairs.

Maintenance professionals understand that using generic hardware store fasteners in industrial tools often leads to subpar results. Generic screws may lack the specific tensile strength, corrosion resistance, or dimensional precision of the 48S708. By choosing this genuine Walter part, you are investing in the longevity of your tool. Whether you are performing routine maintenance, replacing a worn cord guard, or reassembling a tool after a carbon brush change, this screw provides the reliability you need to get the job done right.

Key Benefits of OEM Parts

Sticking to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts for your repair needs guarantees compatibility. There is no guesswork involved regarding thread count or head clearance. This screw fits perfectly into the recessed counterbores designed for it, ensuring no snag points for the operator's gloves or clothing. Keep your workshop running smoothly and your tools in peak condition with the correct Walter replacement parts.
