OVERVIEW

Precision Finishing for Stainless Steel

The Walter W217 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D783) represents the pinnacle of precision abrasive technology, specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of stainless steel fabrication and finishing. When working with high-value materials like stainless steel, the quality of the abrasive tool is paramount to achieving a flawless finish without introducing contaminants or heat discoloration. Walter Surface Technologies has developed this mounted point to deliver superior performance in the most challenging industrial environments.

One of the standout features of this product is its exceptional balance. In precision grinding, even slight imbalances in the abrasive head can lead to chatter, vibration, and uneven finishes. Walter manufactures these points to exacting standards, ensuring a vibration-free experience. This not only improves the quality of the work but also significantly reduces wear on your die grinder bearings and minimizes operator fatigue during extended use. The stability provided by this balance allows for greater control when working in tight corners or performing delicate edge work.

The abrasive grains used in the W217 are selected for their hardness and friability, ensuring they break down at a controlled rate to reveal sharp new cutting edges. This self-sharpening action is crucial for maintaining a consistent cut rate on tough stainless steel alloys. Whether you are enlarging a fitting, deburring a drilled hole, or smoothing out a weld in a confined space, this mounted point delivers reliable, aggressive material removal while leaving a smooth surface profile ready for final polishing.

Designed for professionals who refuse to compromise on quality, the Walter W217 is an essential addition to any metalworker's toolkit. Its specific formulation for stainless steel prevents the cross-contamination that can lead to rust and corrosion issues down the line, ensuring your finished product meets the highest sanitary and aesthetic standards.

FAQ

The W217 is a standard shape code for mounted points, typically cylindrical with a diameter of 1 inch and a length/thickness of 3/8 inch.

Yes, this Walter mounted point is specifically designed for stainless steel, ensuring it does not contaminate the material with iron or other impurities that could cause rust.

This mounted point is designed for use with a die grinder (pneumatic or electric) equipped with a collet that matches the shank diameter (typically 1/4 inch).

A perfectly balanced point reduces vibration, which improves the surface finish, extends the life of the die grinder, and reduces operator fatigue.

While it is optimized for stainless steel, it can often be used on other ferrous metals, though its wear rate and finish quality may vary compared to points designed specifically for mild steel.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield, hearing protection, and appropriate gloves. A dust mask or respirator is also recommended depending on the material being ground.

Yes, mounted points come permanently bonded to a steel shank (mandrel) for insertion into the die grinder collet.
