48M658 - Walter Replacement Rating Plate for Grinders

Restore Full Compliance and Identification with Genuine Walter Parts

The Walter 48M658 Rating Plate is a critical replacement component designed to restore the identification and safety specifications of your Walter power tools. In professional industrial environments, the legibility of a tool's rating plate is not merely a matter of aesthetics; it is a safety and compliance necessity. Over time, exposure to grinding dust, sparks, heat, and abrasive handling can wear down the original factory labels, rendering vital information unreadable. This replacement plate allows maintenance teams and operators to refresh the tool's exterior, ensuring that model numbers, serial numbers, and electrical specifications are clearly visible.

Using genuine OEM parts like the 48M658 ensures that the replacement label fits perfectly on the tool housing and utilizes an industrial-grade adhesive capable of withstanding the rigorous conditions of metalworking shops. A peeling or missing label can lead to confusion regarding the tool's voltage requirements (120V vs. 240V) or its maximum RPM rating. Mismatched RPM ratings between a tool and an abrasive wheel are a leading cause of wheel failure; therefore, having a legible rating plate is the first line of defense in ensuring operators select the correct consumables for their equipment.

This rating plate is specifically manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies to match the original specifications of their high-performance grinders and power tools. By maintaining the integrity of your tool's labeling, you also facilitate easier asset tracking and warranty servicing. When a tool breaks down or requires standard maintenance, the data provided on the rating plate is essential for ordering the correct spare parts, such as carbon brushes, armatures, or switches. Investing in this simple replacement part helps extend the service life of your equipment by ensuring it is always properly identified and used within its design limits.

Whether you are refurbishing older tools or replacing a damaged housing component, the 48M658 provides the professional finish and safety assurance required in modern fabrication facilities. Ensure your fleet of Walter tools meets all OSHA and site-specific safety regulations by keeping their specification plates intact and legible.
