48R299 - Walter Line-Mate III Replacement Safety Guard

Technical Overview of the Walter 48R299 Protective Cover

The Walter 48R299 is a specialized protective cover designed exclusively for the Line-Mate III linear finishing system (Model 30-A 268). As a critical component of the tool's safety assembly, this guard is engineered to deflect sparks, abrasive debris, and dust away from the operator during high-speed surface conditioning tasks. Maintaining the integrity of the safety guard is essential for compliance with industrial safety regulations regarding rotating abrasive machinery.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, this OEM replacement part ensures exact tolerance and fitment, preventing the vibration or misalignment issues often associated with generic aftermarket guards. The cover is constructed from high-durability materials capable of withstanding the thermal and mechanical stresses generated during heavy-duty grinding, sanding, and polishing applications. It effectively shrouds the abrasive drum or wheel, minimizing the risk of accidental contact while allowing sufficient visibility and access to the workpiece.

Installation of the 48R299 is straightforward, designed to integrate seamlessly with the Line-Mate III's existing housing. Regular inspection of the protective cover is recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule; cracked or compromised guards should be replaced immediately to ensure operator safety. This component is vital for facilities utilizing the Line-Mate III for stainless steel finishing, rust removal, and graining applications.
