12D003 - Walter A-1 Stainless Steel Mounted Point

Precision Finishing for Stainless Steel Applications

The Walter A-1 Mounted Point/Inox represents the pinnacle of abrasive engineering for precision metal finishing. Designed specifically for industrial environments where accuracy and surface integrity are paramount, this mounted point is an essential tool for metalworkers dealing with stainless steel components. Walter Surface Technologies has developed this product with a specialized "Inox" formulation, meaning it is free from iron, sulfur, and chlorine contaminants. This is a critical feature for industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical processing, where cross-contamination can lead to rust or corrosion on high-value stainless steel assets.

One of the standout characteristics of this abrasive tool is its exceptional balance. In high-speed grinding applications using die grinders, even minor imbalances in the mounted point can lead to severe vibration. This vibration not only causes operator fatigue and potential repetitive strain injuries (HAVS) but also significantly accelerates wear on the power tool's bearings and collet. Walter’s manufacturing process ensures that every A-1 point is perfectly concentric and balanced, delivering a smooth, vibration-free operation that extends tool life and improves the quality of the finish.

The A-1 shape is particularly versatile, featuring a cylindrical body that is ideal for internal grinding tasks. Whether you are smoothing out the inside of a pipe fitting, enlarging a drilled hole to a precise diameter, or cleaning up a weld in a confined recess, the geometry of this point allows for controlled material removal. The high-quality abrasive grains used in its construction are bonded to resist premature disintegration while maintaining a cool cutting action, preventing heat buildup that could discolor or warp thin stainless steel parts.

For professionals who demand reliability and performance, the Walter A-1 Mounted Point offers a solution that combines aggressive stock removal with the finesse required for finishing work. It is a testament to Walter's commitment to providing superior abrasive solutions that enhance productivity while prioritizing operator safety and workpiece integrity.
