30B025 - Walter Safety Guard for 6170 Grinder - Cut-Off Type

Essential Safety for Industrial Cutting

The Walter Cut-Off Guard for 6170 (30B025) is a critical safety accessory designed specifically for professionals using the Walter Model 6170 grinder for cutting applications. In the high-stakes environment of industrial metalworking, operator safety is paramount. Standard grinding guards are often open-faced, designed primarily for grinding with the face of the wheel. However, when using thin cut-off wheels, the risk profile changes. A dedicated cut-off guard is required to provide adequate protection against the potential hazards of high-speed wheel rotation and the possibility of wheel breakage.

This guard features a more enclosed design compared to standard Type 27 guards. It covers a larger portion of the wheel's periphery and sides, effectively containing sparks, abrasive debris, and—most importantly—fragments in the unlikely event of a wheel shattering. Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the 30B025 is built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, resisting impact and heat to maintain its protective integrity over time.

Compliance and Compatibility

Using the correct guard is not just a matter of preference; it is often a regulatory requirement. OSHA and ANSI standards typically mandate specific guarding for cut-off operations to ensure that the operator is shielded from the rotating wheel. The Walter 30B025 ensures your equipment remains compliant with these safety standards. Its precise engineering guarantees a perfect fit on the Model 6170, eliminating the rattle or misalignment often seen with universal aftermarket guards. This secure fit is vital for maintaining tool balance and ensuring that the guard stays in the correct position during operation.
