Walter W179 Stainless Steel Grinding Point 3/8 x 1-1/4 Inch

Superior Control for Hard-to-Reach Welds

When it comes to finishing welds in tight spaces, the Walter W179 Mounted Point is an essential tool for the professional welder's arsenal. Standard grinding wheels often cannot access the intricate geometries found in complex fabrications, pipe fitting, or repair work. The W179 shape offers a slender, cylindrical profile (3/8" x 1-1/4") that allows you to reach into corners, grind inside pipes, and smooth out root passes with ease. Specifically formulated for stainless steel, this abrasive point cuts freely without generating excessive heat, preserving the corrosion resistance of your base material.

Welders Supply knows that tool vibration is the enemy of precision. A vibrating die grinder bit can jump out of the groove, damaging the workpiece and causing unnecessary strain on your hands and wrists. Walter Surface Technologies addresses this by manufacturing some of the most balanced mounted points in the industry. The 12D593 model spins true, giving you complete control over the grinding action. This stability allows for delicate touch-up work and aggressive stock removal alike, making it versatile for fitting and enlarging holes or prepping surfaces for subsequent welding passes.

Durability is key in a welding environment. This mounted point is constructed with a high-quality bonding agent that retains the abrasive grain until it is fully utilized, providing a long service life even under demanding conditions. The 1/4-inch steel shank is hardened and ground to ensure a tight, slip-free fit in your die grinder's collet. Because it is designed for stainless steel, it is free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine contaminants, ensuring that you won't introduce rust-causing particles into your stainless welds.

Upgrade your finishing capabilities with a tool designed for the job. Whether you are working on food-grade stainless equipment, architectural metalwork, or heavy industrial piping, the Walter W179 Mounted Point helps you achieve a flawless finish in the most difficult-to-reach areas.
