OVERVIEW

Maintain Peak Performance with Genuine Walter Parts

In the demanding world of industrial metalworking, the reliability of your power tools is paramount. Walter Surface Technologies is renowned for building robust, high-performance equipment designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use. However, even the most durable tools require maintenance. The Walter 48S221 Tapping Screw St 2.9X8 is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component designed specifically to keep your Walter tools operating at their best. Using non-standard or generic fasteners in precision equipment can lead to loose housings, increased vibration, and potential safety hazards. By choosing this authentic Walter part, you ensure that every component of your tool interacts exactly as the engineers intended.

This tapping screw is not just a simple fastener; it is a critical element in the assembly of your machine's housing or internal components. Manufactured from high-grade steel, it offers the tensile strength required to hold components securely under the high-torque and high-vibration conditions typical of grinding, cutting, and finishing operations. The 2.9mm diameter and 8mm length are precision-machined to fit perfectly into the corresponding bosses or pilot holes of your Walter equipment, preventing stripping or damage to the tool's body.

Maintenance teams and safety officers understand that the integrity of a tool is only as good as its smallest part. Whether you are replacing a worn screw during a routine service or reassembling a tool after a major repair, the 48S221 provides the peace of mind that comes with OEM quality. It features a corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to the dust, moisture, and chemical exposure often found in welding and fabrication shops. Don't compromise on the longevity of your premium tools; invest in the correct hardware to extend their service life and protect your investment.

Key Benefits for Maintenance:

  • Exact Fit: Guaranteed compatibility with specific Walter tool models, eliminating guesswork.
  • Durability: High-quality steel construction resists shearing and stripping.
  • Safety: Ensures housings and guards remain securely attached during operation.
