48S176 - Walter M5x10 Replacement Burnished Machine Screw

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S176 Burnished Screw M5X10 is a critical Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies power tools. In the realm of industrial metalworking, the reliability of your equipment is paramount. Even the smallest components, such as fastening screws, play a vital role in the safety, vibration resistance, and longevity of high-performance grinders, sanders, and finishing tools. Using non-standard or generic hardware can lead to thread stripping, improper clamping force, or loosening due to the high-frequency vibrations common in surface finishing applications.

This screw features a precise M5 metric thread pitch and a 10mm length, manufactured to the exact tolerances required by Walter's engineering standards. The "burnished" finish is a key characteristic of this fastener. Burnishing, often achieved through chemical blackening or thermal treatment, serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it provides a layer of mild corrosion resistance, protecting the fastener from the moisture and humidity often present in fabrication shops. Secondly, the finish reduces light reflection and provides a sleek, professional appearance that matches the aesthetic of Walter's industrial tool line. Finally, burnished surfaces can retain lubricants better than bare metal, aiding in future maintenance or removal.

Industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals understand that downtime costs money. When a tool is out of commission due to a missing or stripped screw, having the correct part on hand is essential. The 48S176 is typically used to secure safety guards, handle assemblies, or internal housing components. By choosing this genuine Walter part, you ensure that the replacement fits perfectly without the need for modification or force, preserving the warranty and safety certification of your valuable equipment.

Whether you are restocking your tool crib's spare parts inventory or performing an immediate repair on a line-critical tool, the Walter 48S176 offers the assurance of quality that comes with the Walter name. It is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, ensuring your team can continue to work efficiently and safely.
