48S219 - Walter Replacement Tapping Screw 4.2mm x 65mm

Maintain Your Equipment with Genuine Walter Parts

When it comes to the longevity and performance of your industrial power tools, every component matters—down to the smallest screw. The Walter Tapping Screw St 4.2X65 (SKU: 48S219) is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies equipment. In the demanding environments of metalworking, welding, and fabrication, tools are subjected to high vibration, thermal stress, and rough handling. Using the correct fasteners is critical to ensuring that tool housings, gearboxes, and safety guards remain securely attached, protecting both the internal mechanisms and the operator.

This specific tapping screw features a 4.2mm diameter and a 65mm length, a specific size often used in the assembly of tool bodies or handle casings where deep reach is required. The "St" designation typically indicates a steel construction, providing the tensile strength needed to hold components together under torque. Unlike generic hardware store screws, which may have slight variations in thread pitch, head geometry, or material hardness, this Walter OEM screw is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original engineering design. This ensures a seamless fit without stripping plastic bosses or cross-threading metal receivers, preserving the integrity of your expensive equipment.

Regular maintenance and timely repair of your tools can significantly extend their service life. If you are noticing loose components or have lost hardware during a routine service or carbon brush change, replacing missing screws immediately is vital. A loose housing can lead to internal misalignment, increased vibration, and premature failure of bearings or motors. By choosing the Walter 48S219, you are investing in the reliability of your workflow. Whether you are a maintenance manager keeping a fleet of grinders running or a fabricator relying on your personal tools, stocking essential spare parts like this tapping screw ensures that minor hardware issues don't turn into major downtime.

Installation is straightforward, requiring standard hand tools appropriate for the drive type (typically Phillips or Torx, depending on the specific batch and application). Ensure you tighten the screw to the manufacturer's recommended torque to avoid over-tightening, especially when fastening into composite materials. Trust in the quality of Walter Surface Technologies parts to keep your operations running smoothly and safely.
