OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Mounted Point for Tight Spaces

When your welding or fabrication project requires getting into tight corners or refining small details on stainless steel, the Walter A-12 Mounted Point is the tool for the job. Built for professional welders and fabricators, this abrasive point is engineered to tackle the toughness of stainless steel without glazing over or generating excessive heat. The A-12 shape—resembling a bullet—is perfect for reaching into pipe fittings, smoothing out inside corners, and enlarging holes to precise tolerances.

Vibration is the enemy of precision, and Walter has conquered it with this product. You can feel the difference the moment you spin it up in your die grinder. The exceptional balance means the tool runs true, preventing the "bouncing" effect that ruins finishes and tires out your hands. This smooth operation allows for aggressive material removal when needed, or a light touch for final blending, giving you complete versatility on the bench or in the field.

This mounted point isn't just about comfort; it's about performance longevity. The high-quality abrasive grain structure is designed to break down at a controlled rate, ensuring that you always have sharp cutting edges in contact with the metal. This is crucial when working with stainless steel, which can work-harden if an abrasive rubs rather than cuts. With the Walter 12D038, you get a clean, cool cut every time, reducing the need for rework and helping you finish jobs faster.

Whether you are prepping a joint for welding, cleaning up splatter in a hard-to-reach spot, or fine-tuning a custom fit-up, this mounted point delivers professional results. It is an essential accessory for any welder's die grinder, providing the reliability needed for high-stakes stainless steel fabrication. Don't settle for generic stones that vibrate and wear out instantly; upgrade to Walter for a smoother, longer-lasting grinding experience.

FAQ

The A-12 shape is cylindrical with a rounded (bullet-nose) top, typically measuring approximately 11/16" in diameter by 1-1/4" in length, ideal for contour work.

Yes, the Walter 12D038 is specifically formulated for stainless steel, meaning it is designed to cut cool and is free of contaminants that could cause rust or corrosion.

This mounted point is designed for use with a die grinder (pneumatic or electric) equipped with a collet that matches the shank size (typically 1/4 inch).

Walter mounted points are known for their exceptional balance and concentricity, which significantly reduces vibration compared to generic alternatives.

While it is optimized for stainless steel, it can be used on mild steel. However, for aluminum, a specialized abrasive is recommended to prevent loading (clogging) of the stone.

The vitrified bond holds the abrasive grains securely for a long life and provides a rigid structure that supports precision grinding and maintains the tool's shape.

If the point becomes glazed or loses its shape, it can be dressed using a diamond dressing tool or a dressing stone to expose fresh grain and restore the profile.

Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield, hearing protection, and appropriate gloves. Ensure the die grinder speed does not exceed the maximum RPM rating of the mounted point.
