30A161 - Walter Mini 4-1/2 Inch Angle Grinder with Anti-Vibration Handle

Industrial-Grade Performance and Durability

The Walter 30A161 Mini™ Grinder represents the pinnacle of compact industrial grinding technology. Engineered for the most demanding metalworking environments, this 4-1/2” angle grinder integrates robust mechanical features with advanced ergonomic design. At its core lies a high-efficiency motor that has been upgraded to deliver an additional 100 watts of power compared to previous generations. This increase in torque ensures consistent rotational speed even under heavy load, making it ideal for aggressive material removal and cutting tasks. The internal components are shielded by Walter's exclusive DUSTGUARD™ system, a proprietary engineering solution that prevents abrasive dust and metal particles from penetrating the motor housing, thereby significantly extending the service life of the tool.

Operational efficiency is a key focus of the 30A161's design. The unit features the QUICK-R™ instant release function, a tool-free mechanism that allows operators to change grinding or cutting wheels in seconds without the need for spanners or keys. This reduction in downtime translates directly to increased productivity on the shop floor. Furthermore, the grinder is equipped with a mechanical safety clutch. This critical safety feature disengages the motor in the event of a wheel bind, protecting the internal gearing from stripping and, more importantly, safeguarding the operator from dangerous kickback scenarios.

Thermal management has also been enhanced with a redesigned rear vent system. This improvement optimizes airflow over the armature, ensuring the tool runs cooler during extended periods of operation. The slimline housing is constructed to withstand the rigors of industrial use while providing a secure grip. Whether utilized for structural steel fabrication, foundry work, or general plant maintenance, the Walter Mini™ Grinder delivers the reliability and power required by professional tradespeople.
