12D032 - Walter A-11 Grinding Point for Steel

Precision Grinding with Walter A-11 Mounted Points

The Walter A-11 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D032) represents the pinnacle of precision in abrasive finishing tools. Designed specifically for metalworkers who demand accuracy and consistency, this mounted point is engineered to deliver flawless results in tight spaces where larger grinding wheels cannot reach. Whether you are performing intricate fitting work, enlarging holes in castings, or deburring complex geometries, the A-11 shape provides the versatility needed for detailed material removal.

One of the standout features of Walter's mounted points is their exceptional balance. Manufacturing abrasive points requires strict quality control to ensure the abrasive mass is perfectly centered on the mandrel. Walter Surface Technologies utilizes high-quality abrasive grains and a precise bonding process to create a tool that spins true, even at high RPMs. This "vibration-free" performance is critical for two reasons: first, it ensures a smooth surface finish on the workpiece without the chatter marks often caused by unbalanced tools; second, it significantly reduces operator fatigue and wear on the power tool's bearings.

Optimized for use on mild steel, cast iron, and tool steel, this mounted point offers an aggressive yet controlled cut. The abrasive formulation is tough enough to handle high tensile steels while remaining friable enough to expose new sharp grains as it works. This self-sharpening action maintains a consistent cutting rate throughout the life of the point. For maintenance and repair operations (MRO) or production environments, the reliability of Walter abrasives translates to less downtime changing out worn or broken bits and more time focused on the fabrication task at hand.

Safety and performance go hand-in-hand with the 12D032. The secure bonding of the abrasive to the spindle ensures safety at recommended operating speeds. When used with a standard die grinder, this A-11 point becomes an extension of the operator's hand, allowing for subtle shaping and heavy stock removal alike. It is an essential consumable for any shop working with ferrous metals.
