OVERVIEW

Precision Grinding for Tough Alloys

The Walter A-5 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D021) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking, specifically targeting tough steel, tool steel, and high-tensile alloys. Manufactured with a specialized vitrified bond and premium-grade abrasive grains, this tool delivers a high material removal rate while maintaining a cool cutting action to preserve the metallurgical integrity of the workpiece.

One of the critical technical distinctions of Walter's mounted points is their exceptional balance. Each point is intricately balanced during manufacturing to ensure concentricity and eliminate vibration at high RPMs. This reduction in chatter not only protects the spindle bearings of pneumatic and electric die grinders but also ensures a uniform surface finish without chatter marks. The A-5 shape is particularly effective for accessing confined areas, internal diameters, and irregular contours that larger grinding wheels cannot reach.

Designed for professional MRO and fabrication environments, this mounted point excels in applications such as fitting, enlarging holes, and smoothing welds on cast iron and hardened steels. Its robust construction resists premature wear, providing a consistent profile throughout its service life.

FAQ

This product features the standard A-5 shape, which is typically cylindrical with a rounded or pointed nose, ideal for accessing tight corners and internal contours.

It is specifically formulated for 'Tough Steel' applications, including cast iron, tool steel, high-tensile steel, and general ferrous metals.

Proper balance eliminates vibration at high RPMs, which prevents chatter marks on the workpiece, reduces operator fatigue, and extends the life of the die grinder.

While it may physically fit if the shank matches, mounted points are designed for high-speed die grinders. Drills typically do not spin fast enough to make the abrasive work effectively.

Yes, like most bonded abrasives, you may need to dress the point occasionally with a dressing stone to restore its shape and expose fresh abrasive grains.

This specific point is designed for tough steel. Using it on soft non-ferrous metals like aluminum may cause the abrasive to load or clog quickly. A wax or lubricant, or a point specifically for aluminum, would be better.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield, hearing protection, and appropriate gloves. Ensure the tool's speed does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the point.

The 'Tough Steel' bond is engineered to prevent the abrasive from breaking down too quickly on hard materials, ensuring a longer life and more consistent cut compared to general-purpose points.
