30B066 - Walter 9-Inch Angle Grinder Cutting Guard

Essential Safety for Industrial Grinding

The Walter Cutting Wheel Guard 9" (30B066) is a critical safety accessory designed for heavy-duty industrial environments. When operating high-speed angle grinders, particularly with 9-inch abrasive wheels, the risk of injury from flying debris, sparks, and potential wheel breakage is significant. This guard is engineered to mitigate those risks, providing a robust physical barrier between the cutting element and the operator.

Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in abrasive solutions, this guard is built from high-quality steel to withstand the rigors of daily use in metal fabrication shops, construction sites, and maintenance facilities. Unlike standard grinding guards which are often open-faced, a cutting wheel guard typically offers more enclosure (often referred to as a Type 1 guard) to ensure that if a thin cutting wheel were to shatter, the fragments are contained or deflected away from the user.

Compliance and Durability

Safety compliance is paramount in any industrial setting. Using the correct guard for the specific application—in this case, cutting rather than grinding—is often a requirement under OSHA and other safety standards. The Walter 30B066 ensures that your equipment setup meets these necessary safety protocols. Its durable construction resists bending and warping, ensuring it maintains its protective shape even after exposure to heat and sparks over time.

Seamless Integration

Designed specifically for compatibility with Walter's range of 9-inch grinders, this guard installs securely and allows for necessary adjustments to position the shield for optimal protection based on the working angle. Whether you are cutting structural steel, pipe, or plate, equipping your tool with the 30B066 Cutting Wheel Guard is an investment in operator safety and operational efficiency.
