12D843 - Walter W-236 Inox Mounted Point - 12D843

Precision Grinding for Stainless Steel Applications

The Walter Surface Technologies W-236 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D843) represents a pinnacle in precision abrasive manufacturing, specifically formulated for the demanding requirements of stainless steel (INOX) fabrication. In industrial environments where tolerance and surface integrity are paramount, the quality of the abrasive tool dictates the quality of the final output. This mounted point is engineered with a specialized vitrified bond and high-purity abrasive grains that are optimized to cut cool, preventing the heat buildup that often leads to work hardening or discoloration (bluing) of stainless steel substrates.

One of the critical technical advantages of the Walter 12D843 is its exceptional concentricity. Each point is meticulously balanced during the manufacturing process. In high-RPM applications typical of die grinding, even minor imbalances can result in significant vibration (chatter). This vibration not only degrades the surface finish, creating chatter marks that require secondary rework, but it also accelerates wear on the die grinder's bearings and collet. By ensuring a perfectly balanced rotation, this mounted point allows for precise control during delicate operations such as fitting, enlarging holes, and blending contours in confined spaces.

The W-236 shape is a standard industrial geometry, offering a versatile profile for accessing internal diameters and complex curves. The abrasive composition is designed to break down at a controlled rate, revealing fresh, sharp cutting edges continuously throughout the life of the product. This self-sharpening action ensures that the material removal rate remains consistent from the first use to the last, improving process reliability for MRO professionals and fabricators alike. Whether utilized for mold and die maintenance, aerospace component finishing, or general stainless steel fabrication, this tool delivers the consistency required for professional results.

Operators will appreciate the rigidity and security provided by the precision-ground shank, which ensures a slip-free fit in standard 1/4-inch collets. This secure coupling transfers maximum torque to the workpiece, enhancing efficiency. For technical applications requiring the modification of stainless steel fittings or the deburring of hard-to-reach areas, the Walter W-236 stands out as a superior choice in the category of plugs and mounted items.
