12D592 - Walter W179 Vibration-Free Mounted Grinding Point for Steel

Precision Grinding with Walter W179 Mounted Points

The Walter W179 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D592) represents a pinnacle in precision abrasive manufacturing, specifically engineered for industrial metalworking applications involving mild steel, cast iron, and high-tensile tool steels. In the realm of MRO and fabrication, the integrity of a mounted point is defined by its balance and concentricity. Walter Surface Technologies has developed this product to address the common issues of vibration and chatter that often plague standard abrasive points. By ensuring a perfectly balanced composition, this mounted point protects both the workpiece from irregular gouging and the power tool's bearings from excessive wear.

Designed for the professional machinist and fabricator, the W179 shape is essential for accessing tight geometries where larger grinding wheels cannot reach. Whether the task involves enlarging a bore, fitting a mechanical component, or blending a weld in a confined corner, the abrasive grain structure of this point delivers consistent material removal rates without glazing over. The bond hardness is optimized for ferrous metals, ensuring that fresh abrasive particles are exposed at a controlled rate to maintain cutting efficiency throughout the life of the product.

Operators utilizing pneumatic or electric die grinders will appreciate the smooth running characteristics of this consumable. The reduction in vibration not only improves the surface finish quality but also significantly reduces operator fatigue during extended periods of use. This makes the Walter W179 an indispensable asset for tool and die shops, foundries, and general fabrication environments requiring exacting standards.
