Its design allows for necessary visibility of the workpiece while maintaining maximum coverage for safety. Whether you are performing surface preparation, weld cleaning, or cutting tasks, ensuring your grinder is equipped with a functional, undamaged guard is paramount. The Walter 48M641 is an direct replacement for damaged or missing guards on compatible Walter power tools, restoring the tool to its original safety specifications.
