12D232 - Walter B-52 Vitrified Mounted Point for Steel Finishing

Precision Grinding with Walter B-52 Mounted Points

The Walter B-52 Mounted Point is a testament to precision engineering in the field of industrial abrasives. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of metal fabrication and finishing, this tool is essential for professionals who require accuracy and durability. The 12D232 model is specifically formulated for use on mild steel, cast iron, and high-tensile steel, making it a versatile addition to any machinist's or fabricator's toolkit. Unlike lower-quality alternatives that may suffer from inconsistent grain distribution, Walter utilizes top-quality abrasive grains that ensure a consistent cut rate throughout the life of the product.

One of the standout features of this mounted point is its exceptional balance. In high-speed grinding applications, even minor imbalances can lead to significant vibration. This vibration not only causes operator fatigue and potential health issues like hand-arm vibration syndrome but also wreaks havoc on the bearings of pneumatic and electric die grinders. Walter Surface Technologies manufactures these points to exacting standards to ensure they run true, providing a vibration-free experience that prolongs tool life and improves surface finish quality.

The B-52 shape is particularly useful for accessing difficult-to-reach areas. Whether you are enlarging a bore, fitting a mechanical component, or cleaning up a casting in a recessed area, the geometry of this point allows for precise control. The bonding agent used in the 12D232 is tough enough to withstand the heat and pressure of grinding steel without glazing over or breaking down prematurely. This ensures that the abrasive grains remain exposed and active, delivering efficient material removal from the first pass to the last.

For industrial MRO operations, consistency is key. Walter's commitment to quality control means that every B-52 point performs identically to the last, allowing for predictable maintenance schedules and reliable production outcomes. Whether used for heavy stock removal in a foundry setting or delicate touch-up work in a machine shop, this mounted point delivers the performance professionals expect from the Walter brand.
