30B069 - Walter 9-Inch Closed Cutting Guard

Professional Safety for Heavy-Duty Grinding

The Walter 30B069 Closed Guard is a critical safety component designed for industrial 9-inch angle grinders. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this guard is specifically configured for use with Type 1 cutting wheels. Unlike standard Type 27 open guards used for grinding, a closed guard covers a larger portion of the wheel, providing essential protection against the hazards associated with high-speed cutting.

In industrial environments, compliance with safety standards such as OSHA and ANSI is paramount. When using a flat cutting wheel, regulations often mandate the use of a closed guard to contain potential wheel breakage and redirect sparks away from the operator. The 30B069 is built from robust steel, ensuring it can withstand the rigorous demands of metal fabrication shops, shipyards, and construction sites. Its design fits securely onto compatible Walter grinders, including the 6190 series, ensuring a stable and vibration-free interface.

Investing in the correct guard not only ensures regulatory compliance but also extends the lifespan of the tool by preventing debris ingress into sensitive areas. This guard is an indispensable accessory for any MRO inventory supporting heavy metalworking operations. It represents Walter's commitment to combining performance with uncompromising safety standards.

Technical Specifications

The guard features a 9-inch diameter capacity, making it suitable for large-format angle grinders. The mounting mechanism is designed for quick adjustments, allowing operators to position the guard effectively for different cutting angles without sacrificing safety. The heavy-gauge metal construction provides a reliable barrier against high-velocity particles.
