Walter Replacement Shim 12.2mm x 22.0mm x 0.1mm

Get Your Walter Grinder Back to Work

Don't let a worn-out or missing part sideline your essential equipment. The Walter 48A029 Replacement Shim is the exact part you need to finish your tool repair and get back to grinding. If you have disassembled your Walter grinder or sander for cleaning or repair, you know that those small washers and shims are easy to misplace but absolutely impossible to work without. This specific disc shim features dimensions of 12.2mm x 22.0mm x 0.1mm, making it a specialized spacer for internal tool assemblies.

Why is such a thin washer so important? Inside your power tool, the motor spins at thousands of RPM. The spacing between the bearings, gears, and the housing must be perfect. If there is too much gap, the shaft will wobble, causing the tool to vibrate excessively and feel rough in your hands. This vibration kills bearings and ruins the finish on your workpiece. This 0.1mm shim is designed to fill that tiny gap, tightening up the internal mechanism so your grinder runs smooth, cool, and quiet.

This part is a genuine OEM replacement from Walter Surface Technologies, meaning it is made of the right material and cut to the exact size required for your machine. Generic washers from the hardware store often lack the precision thickness or the correct inner diameter to fit the spindle properly. Using the wrong part can lead to binding or rubbing inside the housing.

Whether you are a professional tool repair technician or a fabricator maintaining your own gear, keeping a few of these shims on hand is a smart move. They are often found on the armature shaft or behind the bevel gear. Check your tool's schematic to confirm the location of part number 48A029. Invest in the right parts to extend the life of your premium Walter tools and ensure they are ready for the toughest jobs in the shop.
