48H312 - Walter 17.5mm Replacement Gib Strip for Magnetic Drills

Maintain Precision with Genuine Walter Parts

The Walter 48H312 Gib Strip 17.5mm is a vital replacement component engineered to maintain the structural integrity and operational accuracy of your Walter magnetic drilling unit. In precision drilling equipment, the slide mechanism is responsible for the vertical travel of the motor and cutter. Over time, the constant friction can cause the gib strip—the interface between the moving head and the stationary stand—to wear down. This wear introduces unwanted play or 'slop' in the mechanism, leading to cutter chatter, reduced hole accuracy, and potential damage to expensive annular cutters.

Designed specifically for Walter's high-performance magnetic drills, this 17.5mm gib strip ensures a perfect fit within the dovetail slide. By replacing a worn strip with this genuine OEM part, you can re-establish the tight tolerances necessary for smooth, vibration-free operation. It allows operators to adjust the slide tension correctly, ensuring the drill head moves effortlessly while remaining rigid against lateral forces.

Installation is a standard maintenance procedure that can significantly extend the lifespan of your machine. Whether you are performing routine service or addressing specific stability issues, the 48H312 Gib Strip is the correct solution for restoring your equipment to factory specifications. Keep your magnetic drill running at peak performance and ensure every hole is drilled true with authentic Walter replacement parts.
