OVERVIEW

Precision Finishing for Stainless Steel Applications

The Walter Surface Technologies A-3 Mounted Point is a premium abrasive tool engineered for professionals who demand precision and consistency in their metal finishing operations. Designed specifically for use on stainless steel and steel, this mounted point addresses the common challenges associated with grinding in confined spaces. Unlike standard abrasives that may suffer from inconsistencies in grain structure or balance, the Walter A-3 is manufactured from the finest grade of abrasive grains. This commitment to material quality ensures that the point maintains its cutting efficiency throughout its lifespan, providing a uniform finish that meets the rigorous standards of industrial fabrication.

One of the standout features of this product is its impeccable balance. In high-speed die grinder applications, even minor imbalances can lead to significant vibration. Vibration not only causes operator fatigue and potential long-term health issues like white finger syndrome but also results in "chatter" on the workpiece—irregular marks that ruin the surface finish. Walter has meticulously balanced each A-3 point to be vibration-free, ensuring smooth operation. This stability allows for greater control when enlarging holes, deburring internal diameters, or smoothing out welds in tight corners where precision is paramount.

Durability and performance go hand-in-hand with the Walter A-3. The high-quality bonding agent holds the abrasive grains securely, allowing them to fracture and self-sharpen at the optimal rate. This prevents the stone from glazing over prematurely when working on tough materials like stainless steel. Whether you are fitting stainless components, performing maintenance repairs, or executing detailed metalwork, this mounted point delivers the reliability required for high-stakes industrial environments. It represents a fusion of safety, comfort, and performance, making it an essential addition to any professional abrasive inventory.

FAQ

The Walter A-3 Mounted Point is specifically designed for use on stainless steel and steel. It is formulated to provide optimal cutting action on these metals without glazing.

The A-3 shape is a standard cylindrical shape with a slightly rounded or flat nose, typically used for general purpose grinding in confined areas.

Perfect balance minimizes vibration, which prevents tool chatter on the workpiece, ensures a smoother finish, reduces operator fatigue, and extends the life of the die grinder.

Yes, this product is designed to be used with a die grinder that accepts the shank size of the mounted point.

While it can remove material, mounted points are generally best suited for finishing, deburring, blending, and working in areas where larger wheels cannot fit.

This specific point is optimized for steel and stainless steel. Using it on aluminum may cause the abrasive to load up (clog) quickly.

The unit dimensions are approximately 0.78 inches in height and width, with a length of 3.93 inches (including shank).

This specific SKU is sold as a single unit (1 per each), though they are often packed in larger boxes for bulk orders.
