12D591 - Walter W179 Precision Mounted Point for High-Tensile Steel

Precision Grinding for Demanding Industrial Applications

The Walter W179 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D591) represents the pinnacle of bonded abrasive technology, specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of metal fabrication and industrial maintenance. When working with tough steels, high-tensile alloys, and cast iron, professionals require a consumable that not only removes material efficiently but also maintains its structural integrity under stress. This mounted point is crafted from the highest quality abrasive grains, selected for their hardness and friability, ensuring a consistent cut rate throughout the life of the product. It is the ideal solution for fitting, enlarging holes, and performing intricate finishing work within tight spaces where larger grinding wheels cannot reach.

One of the critical challenges in die grinding operations is vibration. Excessive vibration not only leads to operator fatigue and potential repetitive strain injuries but also wreaks havoc on the bearings and spindles of pneumatic and electric die grinders. Walter Surface Technologies has addressed this issue by manufacturing these points with impeccable balance. Each point is meticulously formed and tested to ensure unparalleled equilibrium. This supreme balance translates to a vibration-free experience, allowing for greater control, superior surface finishes, and significantly reduced wear on your expensive power tools. The stability provided by this balance is essential when performing precision work on expensive components where chatter marks are unacceptable.

The W179 shape is a versatile profile widely used in tool and die shops, foundries, and heavy machinery repair. Its geometry allows it to access internal contours and corners effectively. Whether you are deburring a machined part, cleaning up a casting, or preparing a surface for welding, this mounted point delivers reliable performance. The bonding matrix is formulated to hold the abrasive grains firmly while allowing fresh sharp edges to be exposed as the tool wears, preventing glazing and burning on heat-sensitive tough steels. By choosing the Walter W179, you are investing in a tool that prioritizes precision, safety, and efficiency in every rotation.
