12D092 - Walter A-32 Mounted Point for Steel Finishing

Precision Abrasive Solution for Confined Spaces

The Walter A-32 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D092) represents a high-performance solution for precision metal removal and finishing tasks. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this abrasive tool is specifically formulated for use on mild steel, cast iron, and high-tensile tool steels. In industrial environments where accuracy and surface integrity are paramount, the A-32 shape provides the necessary geometry to access difficult-to-reach contours, corners, and internal diameters.

One of the critical technical challenges in using mounted points is managing vibration, which can lead to poor surface finish (chatter marks), reduced bearing life in pneumatic die grinders, and operator condition issues such as white finger syndrome. Walter addresses this by adhering to strict manufacturing tolerances that ensure every point is meticulously balanced. This concentricity ensures that the abrasive runs true, allowing for precise control during fitting and enlarging operations. The bonding matrix holds the premium abrasive grains securely, releasing them only when they have become dull, thus ensuring a consistent cut rate throughout the life of the product.

This mounted point is an essential consumable for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals involved in mold making, die repair, and general metal fabrication. Whether the task involves cleaning up a casting, deburring a machined part, or preparing a surface for welding, the 12D092 delivers reliable performance. Its composition is optimized to prevent loading when working on ferrous metals, ensuring that the cutting action remains aggressive without generating excessive heat that could alter the metallurgical properties of the workpiece.

Technical Application Notes: Ensure the die grinder collet is in good condition before mounting. Insert the shank fully to minimize overhang, which is critical for maintaining safety and preventing shaft bending at high RPMs. This product is designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty industrial use while providing the finesse required for detailed finishing work.
