OVERVIEW

Precision Grinding for Stainless Steel Applications

The Walter W205 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D723) represents the pinnacle of precision abrasive technology, specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of stainless steel finishing. In the world of metal fabrication, accessing tight corners, enlarging holes, and smoothing out intricate fittings requires a tool that is not only sized correctly but also performs with absolute stability. Walter Surface Technologies has developed this mounted point to address these exact needs, providing fabricators and MRO professionals with a solution that combines durability with finesse.

One of the most critical aspects of using a die grinder with mounted points is the balance of the abrasive. Poorly balanced stones can cause severe vibration, leading to "chatter" marks on the workpiece, premature wear on the grinder's bearings, and significant operator fatigue (often referred to as "white finger"). The Walter W205 is manufactured using top-notch abrasive grains and a rigorous bonding process that guarantees flawless balance. This results in a truly vibration-free experience, allowing the operator to maintain steady control for precise material removal without fighting the tool.

Designed with a specific formulation for stainless steel ("St St"), this mounted point cuts cool and resists loading, which is essential when working with heat-sensitive alloys. Standard abrasives can often contaminate stainless steel or cause heat discoloration, but the Walter 12D723 is built to maintain the integrity of the base material. Whether you are deburring a freshly drilled hole, blending a weld in a confined space, or shaping a fitting, this tool delivers consistent performance. Its W205 shape offers a versatile profile suitable for a wide range of geometries, making it a staple in any professional tool crib dedicated to high-quality metal finishing.

By choosing Walter, you are investing in abrasives that prioritize safety and efficiency. The structural integrity of the bond ensures that the point holds its shape longer, reducing the frequency of changeovers and dressing. For workshops where precision and surface quality are non-negotiable, the Walter W205 Mounted Point stands out as the superior choice for detailed stainless steel work.

INCLUDED

  • 1 x Walter W205 Mounted Point for Stainless Steel

APPLICATIONS

  • Stainless Steel Fitting: Ideal for contouring and shaping stainless steel fittings in plumbing and industrial piping systems.
  • Hole Enlarging: Perfect for precision enlarging of drilled holes or slots to correct fit-up issues.
  • Confined Space Grinding: Excellent for reaching into corners, channels, and internal diameters where larger wheels cannot fit.
  • Weld Blending: Used for smoothing out small welds and tack welds in hard-to-reach areas.
  • Deburring: Effectively removes heavy burrs from machined or cut stainless steel parts.
  • Die and Mold Repair: Suitable for precision material removal in tool and die maintenance.

FAQ

The Walter 12D723 is a W205 mounted point specifically designed for grinding and finishing stainless steel (St St). It is formulated to cut cool and prevent contamination of the stainless surface.

This product is designed for use with a die grinder (either pneumatic or electric) that accepts the shank size of the mounted point (typically 1/4 inch for this size range).

Balance is critical because mounted points spin at very high RPMs. A balanced point, like the Walter W205, eliminates vibration, which prevents tool chatter, improves surface finish, reduces operator fatigue, and extends the life of the die grinder bearings.

While it is optimized for stainless steel, it can be used on other ferrous metals. However, for best results and to avoid cross-contamination (if you switch back to stainless), it is best to keep it dedicated to the material it was designed for.

W205 refers to the standard shape and dimension code for the mounted point. It typically denotes a cylindrical shape with specific dimensions (often 3/4" diameter x 1" length) used across the abrasive industry.

Yes, Walter mounted points are manufactured to high safety standards. However, you must always check the maximum RPM rating on the package or product and ensure your grinder does not exceed that speed. Always wear appropriate eye and face protection.

Like all bonded abrasives, the point may eventually lose its shape or become loaded. It can be dressed with a dressing stone or diamond dresser to restore its profile and expose fresh abrasive grain.

No, the Walter 12D723 is contaminant-free and designed for stainless steel, meaning it does not contain iron, sulfur, or chlorine fillers that typically cause rust or corrosion on stainless surfaces.
