48M705 - Walter Replacement Butting Plate for Big-Buff III

Genuine Walter 48M705 Butting Plate for Big-Buff III

The Walter 48M705 Butting Plate is a specialized replacement component engineered specifically for the Big-Buff III finishing tool (Model 60-A-305). In the high-precision world of metal finishing and polishing, the integrity of your equipment is paramount. This butting plate serves as the outer flange or retaining disc that secures buffing wheels, fleece drums, and other abrasive media to the tool's spindle. Without a properly seated and undamaged butting plate, the abrasive media cannot be safely torqued down, leading to potential slippage, imbalance, and safety hazards.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, this part meets the exact OEM specifications required for the Big-Buff III system. It is constructed from durable metal designed to withstand the rotational forces and heat generated during extended polishing sessions. Whether you have lost the original plate during a wheel change or the existing plate has become worn or threaded over time, the 48M705 is the exact replacement needed to restore your tool to full functionality.

Using genuine Walter parts ensures that the balance of the tool is maintained. An unbalanced tool can cause excessive vibration, which not only fatigues the operator but can also lead to inconsistent finish quality on the workpiece. This butting plate provides the flat, secure surface area necessary to clamp the buffing wheel tight against the inner flange, ensuring smooth rotation and optimal contact with the metal surface being worked on.

Technical Compatibility

This part is identified by the internal SKU 48-M-705. It is designed exclusively for the Big-Buff III series. Users should verify their tool model number before purchasing to ensure compatibility. It is not a universal flange and is tailored to the arbor size and thread pitch of the Walter Big-Buff system.

Installation and Safety

Installation is straightforward. Simply place the buffing wheel onto the spindle, slide the 48M705 Butting Plate over the arbor, and secure it with the locking nut. Always ensure the tool is disconnected from the power source before changing accessories. Inspect the plate for cracks or deformation before every use to ensure operator safety.
