OVERVIEW

Precision Finishing for Stainless Steel Applications

The Walter W179 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D593) represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for precision finishing, fitting, and enlarging tasks. Designed specifically for the unique demands of stainless steel, this mounted point is engineered to deliver aggressive material removal while maintaining a cool cutting action. In industrial environments where surface integrity is paramount, using the correct abrasive is critical to prevent heat discoloration and cross-contamination. Walter Surface Technologies has formulated this product with high-grade abrasive grains that resist loading, ensuring consistent performance throughout the life of the point.

One of the standout features of Walter mounted points is their exceptional balance. Every point is meticulously manufactured to ensure perfect concentricity. For operators using die grinders for extended periods, this balance translates to a vibration-free experience. Reduced vibration not only improves the quality of the finish by preventing chatter marks but also significantly reduces operator fatigue and wear on the power tool's bearings. The W179 shape, measuring 3/8-inch in diameter and 1-1/4-inch in length, is particularly effective for accessing deep recesses, corners, and internal diameters that larger wheels cannot reach.

At Josef Gas, we understand that MRO professionals require tools that are both safe and efficient. This mounted point features a robust 1/4-inch shank that provides a secure hold in standard collets, minimizing run-out. Whether you are deburring a machined part, smoothing a weld in a tight spot, or enlarging a bore in stainless steel piping, the Walter W179 delivers the control and finish quality required for professional results. Its specialized bond holds the grain effectively, allowing for precise stock removal without the risk of the point breaking down prematurely under pressure.

Investing in high-quality abrasives like the Walter 12D593 ensures that your finishing processes are streamlined and cost-effective. By reducing the time spent on rework and tool changes, this mounted point enhances overall productivity in the shop. Trust Josef Gas to supply the industrial-grade abrasives necessary to keep your operations running smoothly.

FAQ

The W179 shape typically measures 3/8 inch in diameter and 1-1/4 inches in length.

Yes, the Walter 12D593 is specifically formulated for stainless steel and is free of contaminants that could cause rust or corrosion.

This mounted point features a standard 1/4-inch shank, so you will need a die grinder with a 1/4-inch collet.

A balanced point prevents vibration, which ensures a smoother finish, reduces operator fatigue, and extends the life of the die grinder.

While it is optimized for stainless steel, it can be used on mild steel, though it may wear differently than a point designed specifically for general purpose steel.

The cylindrical W179 shape is ideal for enlarging holes, smoothing internal surfaces, and grinding in tight corners.

Walter mounted points are designed for cool cutting action to minimize heat buildup and prevent discoloration on stainless steel.

Most standard mounted points for this application utilize a vitrified bond for rigidity and precision, though specific Walter formulations may vary for performance.
