The Walter 48M517 9" Guard is an essential safety accessory designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies' line of heavy-duty angle grinders. In the demanding environments of metal fabrication and industrial maintenance, operator safety is paramount. This wheel guard serves as the primary line of defense between the user and the high-speed rotating abrasive wheel, effectively deflecting sparks, metal filings, and abrasive debris away from the operator's body and face.
Constructed from high-quality, impact-resistant steel, this guard is built to withstand the harsh conditions typical of welding shops, foundries, and construction sites. It is engineered to contain wheel fragments in the unlikely event of a disc breakage, significantly reducing the risk of serious injury. The guard's design allows for secure attachment to the grinder's collar, ensuring it stays firmly in place during operation while permitting necessary adjustments to suit different working angles.
Regular inspection and replacement of grinder guards are critical for maintaining a safe workplace. If your existing guard is bent, cracked, or compromised, the 48M517 provides a direct, OEM-quality replacement that restores the tool's safety features to factory standards. Its robust finish also resists corrosion, ensuring longevity even when exposed to coolants, oils, and grime.
