OVERVIEW

Effortless Finishing in Tight Spaces

Upgrade your finishing capabilities with the Walter A-38 Mounted Point, SKU 12D122. Designed for the professional welder and fabricator, this abrasive tool transforms the often tedious task of die grinding into a smooth, controlled operation. When you are working in tight corners or needing to clean up the inside of a pipe or bore, you need an abrasive that holds its shape and cuts aggressively without bouncing around. Walter delivers exactly that with this high-performance mounted point.

The secret to the 12D122's performance lies in its construction. It features top-grade abrasive grains that are specifically selected for their toughness and ability to fracture cleanly, revealing new sharp edges as you grind. This self-sharpening action means you can keep working without constantly stopping to dress the wheel or apply excessive pressure. Whether you are cleaning up a weld inside a channel, enlarging a bolt hole, or smoothing out a rough casting, this point bites into the metal and removes stock efficiently.

Comfort and safety are major factors during long shifts. Cheap grinding stones often vibrate, causing hand numbness (white finger syndrome) and making it difficult to maintain a steady hand. Walter's mounted points are engineered to be vibration-free. This perfect balance means you can guide the tool with precision, achieving a flawless finish without fighting the grinder. The A-38 cylindrical shape is a classic favorite for a reason—it provides a broad surface area for flat grinding inside holes and a sharp edge for corner work.

Compatible with standard die grinders, this point is ready to tackle your toughest mild steel and high-tensile steel projects. Stop settling for wobbly, fast-wearing stones and experience the difference that a premium Walter abrasive makes in your daily workflow. It is not just a grinding stone; it is a precision instrument for your finishing arsenal.

FAQ

The 12D122 is an A-38 shape, which is a cylindrical mounted point, typically measuring 1 inch in diameter and 1 inch in length.

This point is designed for use on mild steel, cast iron, tool steel, and high-tensile steel. It is not recommended for non-ferrous metals like aluminum as it may clog.

You will need a die grinder (pneumatic or electric) equipped with a 1/4-inch collet to use this mounted point.

A balanced point reduces vibration, which prevents chatter marks on the workpiece, reduces operator fatigue, and extends the life of the die grinder's bearings.

Yes, like most vitrified abrasives, you may need to dress the stone periodically with a dressing stick or diamond tool to restore its shape and expose fresh abrasive grains.

Always check the label on the product or the package for the specific Max RPM. Generally, for a 1-inch diameter point, the speed should be adjusted based on the overhang length to ensure safety.

While it can grind stainless steel, Walter offers specific abrasives optimized for stainless to prevent contamination and heat buildup. This specific point is best suited for mild steel and cast iron.

The 12D122 typically features a coarse grit (around 30 grit) suitable for rapid stock removal rather than fine polishing.
