The Walter 48M517 9" Guard is your trusty shield against the inevitable shower of hot metal and abrasive dust. Designed as a direct replacement for Walter angle grinders, this guard ensures that you can focus on getting the perfect finish without worrying about debris flying where it shouldn't.

We know that equipment takes a beating in the shop. That's why this guard is made from tough, durable steel that can handle the knocks and drops of daily life on the job site.
