12D002 - Walter A-1 Mounted Grinding Point for Steel and Cast Iron

Precision Finishing for Industrial Applications

The Walter A-1 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D002) represents the pinnacle of abrasive engineering for precision metal removal. Designed specifically for industrial environments where accuracy and tool longevity are paramount, this mounted point is crafted from premium-grade abrasive grains bonded to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty grinding. The A-1 shape is a standard in the industry for a reason; its cylindrical geometry allows for effective internal grinding, hole enlarging, and surface preparation in confined spaces that larger wheels cannot reach.

One of the critical challenges in using mounted points is managing vibration. Excessive vibration not only leads to poor surface finishes and chatter marks but also accelerates wear on the die grinder's spindle bearings and causes operator fatigue (HAVS). Walter Surface Technologies addresses this by ensuring every 12D002 point is meticulously balanced. This commitment to concentricity ensures a smooth, stable rotation even at high RPMs, allowing for precise control during delicate fitting operations.

Optimized for ferrous metals, this point excels on mild steel, cast iron, and high-tensile tool steels. Whether you are correcting the dimensions of a machined part, smoothing out a casting flash, or preparing a surface for welding, the abrasive composition delivers a consistent cut rate without glazing over prematurely. The bond structure is engineered to break down at a controlled rate, exposing fresh, sharp grain to the workpiece to maintain cutting efficiency throughout the life of the product.

For MRO professionals and machinists, the Walter 12D002 offers a reliable solution for maintenance and fabrication tasks. Its durability reduces the frequency of tool changes, thereby increasing throughput and reducing downtime in production cycles. Trust in Walter's heritage of surface finishing excellence to deliver a tool that performs as hard as you do.
