OVERVIEW

Protect Your Team with Genuine Walter Guards

Safety is paramount when operating high-speed power tools, and the Walter 48-C 131 Type 27 Wheel Guard is your first line of defense. Designed for 5-inch angle grinders, this guard is a mandatory attachment when using depressed center grinding wheels or flap discs. It effectively shields the operator's face and body from the stream of hot sparks and metal particulates generated during grinding, significantly reducing the risk of injury and burns.

Constructed from heavy-gauge steel, the 48-C 131 is built to endure the daily abuse of professional environments. Unlike generic guards that may rattle or fit poorly, this genuine Walter accessory locks firmly into place, ensuring it stays positioned correctly even during intense vibration. The Type 27 configuration is specifically shaped to accommodate the offset hub of standard grinding wheels, providing maximum coverage without hindering the tool's maneuverability or access to the workpiece.

Replacing a missing or damaged guard is not just a maintenance task; it is a safety requirement. Using a grinder without a guard violates safety protocols and endangers the user. Ensure your equipment is up to code and your workforce is protected by equipping your Walter 5-inch grinders with this dedicated Type 27 wheel guard.
