48S213 - Walter M3x8 Replacement Machine Screw

Genuine Walter Replacement Hardware

The Walter 48S213 Screw M3X8 is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies power tools. When maintaining high-performance industrial equipment, every component plays a critical role in the overall safety and longevity of the machine. This M3 x 8mm machine screw is engineered to the exact specifications required by Walter's engineering team, ensuring a perfect fit that generic hardware often fails to provide.

Precision Engineering and Fitment

Industrial power tools, such as grinders and finishing tools, operate at high RPMs and generate significant vibration. Fasteners used in these applications must meet specific tolerance and material strength requirements to prevent loosening during operation. The 48S213 features a precise M3 metric thread pitch that mates perfectly with the internal threads of your tool's housing or components. Using a screw with incorrect pitch or diameter—even slightly off—can strip the internal tapping of the tool body, leading to costly repairs that far exceed the price of the correct fastener.

Importance of OEM Parts

While it may be tempting to use a standard hardware store screw, OEM parts like the 48S213 are manufactured with specific tensile strengths and head geometries in mind. This screw is typically used for securing protective guards, handle assemblies, or internal electronic components where clearance and head height are specific. A generic screw might have a head that sits too high, interfering with the operation of the tool, or a material composition that is too soft, leading to sheared heads during maintenance. By choosing the genuine Walter 48S213, you ensure that your tool remains compliant with safety standards and performs as designed.

Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance of your abrasive power tools involves checking all fasteners for tightness. If a screw is lost or damaged during a brush change or routine cleaning, immediate replacement is necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the tool. Keep your Walter equipment running at peak performance by stocking genuine replacement parts like the 48S213 M3x8 screw, ensuring downtime is minimized and safety is never compromised.
