48C131 - Walter 48-C 131 5-Inch Type 27 Grinder Wheel Guard

Essential Safety for Industrial Grinding

The Walter 48-C 131 Wheel Guard is a critical safety accessory designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies' 5-inch angle grinders. Engineered to meet rigorous industrial safety standards, this guard is essential for protecting operators from the high-velocity sparks, abrasive debris, and potential wheel fragments that can occur during heavy-duty grinding operations. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand the harsh conditions of metal fabrication shops, shipyards, and construction sites.

This guard is specifically configured for Type 27 wheels, also known as depressed center wheels, which are commonly used for grinding and blending. The profile of the guard covers the appropriate sector of the wheel to deflect debris away from the user while leaving the working edge accessible for efficient material removal. Proper use of this guard not only enhances personal safety but also helps facilities maintain compliance with OSHA and other workplace safety regulations regarding power tool operation.

Installation is straightforward, designed to fit securely onto the collar of compatible Walter grinders. Once installed, it provides a stable and reliable barrier that does not interfere with the balance or performance of the tool. Whether you are replacing a damaged guard or outfitting a new tool, the Walter 48-C 131 is the OEM choice for maintaining the integrity and safety of your Walter grinding equipment.
