30A170 - Walter 6170 Industrial 7-Inch Angle Grinder with Rotating Handle

Engineered for Industrial Endurance

The Walter 6170 7" Maxi Grinder is a testament to robust engineering designed specifically for the rigors of industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). In environments where downtime is costly and tool failure is not an option, the 6170 series delivers consistent, high-torque performance. At the heart of this machine is a high-quality motor optimized to maintain speed and torque even under substantial load, ensuring that material removal rates remain high without overheating the internal components. This thermal management is crucial for continuous operation in heavy manufacturing settings.

One of the standout engineering features of the Walter 6170 is the integrated DUSTGUARD protection system. Industrial grinding inevitably produces fine particulate matter that can infiltrate motor windings and gear mechanisms, leading to premature failure. The DUSTGUARD design acts as a barrier, significantly reducing the ingress of conductive dust and abrasive debris. This feature alone dramatically extends the service life of the tool, providing a better return on investment for facility managers and procurement specialists looking for long-lasting equipment.

Maintenance and serviceability have also been prioritized in the design of the Maxi Grinder. The unit features a convenient carbon brush service door, allowing maintenance personnel to inspect and replace brushes quickly without dismantling the entire housing. This design consideration minimizes service downtime and keeps the tool in production. Furthermore, the lower profile gear housing allows operators to access tighter spaces that standard bulky grinders cannot reach, expanding the versatility of the tool across various mechanical assembly and repair tasks.

Safety and compliance are paramount in industrial settings. The Walter 6170 includes a tool-free adjustable guard, enabling operators to quickly reposition the safety shield to deflect sparks and debris away from themselves and bystanders. Combined with the spindle lock for secure wheel changes, this grinder meets the high safety standards required by modern safety officers and plant managers.
