OVERVIEW

Precision Grinding with Walter B-52 Mounted Points

The Walter 12D242 B-52 Mounted Point represents the pinnacle of precision in small-scale abrasive applications. Designed specifically for metalworkers who demand accuracy and consistency, this mounted point is engineered to deliver exceptional results when working with mild steel, cast iron, and high-tensile tool steels. The B-52 shape, characterized by its bullet-like profile, is particularly effective for accessing tight corners, blending contours, and performing detailed deburring tasks that larger grinding wheels simply cannot reach.

One of the standout features of Walter's mounted point line is the meticulous attention to balance. Every point is manufactured to strict concentricity standards, ensuring that it spins true even at high RPMs. This balance is critical for two reasons: it prevents the "chatter" that can mar a workpiece surface, and it eliminates the vibration that causes premature wear on pneumatic or electric die grinders. For the operator, this means a smoother feel, less hand fatigue during extended use, and greater control over the material removal process.

The abrasive composition of the 12D242 is formulated for durability and aggressive cutting action. Whether you are enlarging a hole to a precise diameter, fitting a mechanical part, or smoothing out a rough casting, the high-grade grain structure ensures cool cutting and a consistent finish. It is an essential consumable for tool and die shops, fabrication floors, and maintenance departments where precision metal finishing is a daily requirement.

Common Applications:

  • Deburring machined parts and castings
  • Blending welds in confined spaces
  • Enlarging holes and slots
  • General maintenance and repair operations

FAQ

The 12D242 features a B-52 shape, which is a bullet-nosed or ogive cylinder, ideal for grinding contours and tight spaces.

It is designed for use on mild steel, cast iron, tool steel, and high-tensile steel.

No, Walter mounted points are meticulously balanced during manufacturing to ensure vibration-free operation.

You will need a die grinder (pneumatic or electric) equipped with a collet that matches the shank size (typically 1/8" for this series).

While it can grind stainless, it is optimized for mild steel. For dedicated stainless work, specific contaminant-free abrasives are often recommended to prevent cross-contamination.

A standard B-52 mounted point typically measures 3/8 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches in length.

Yes, the shape and abrasive nature make it excellent for enlarging holes and fitting work.
