12D783 - Walter W217 Stainless Steel Grinding Point

Industrial Grade W217 Mounted Point

Maximize your productivity and finish quality with the Walter W217 Mounted Point, a specialized abrasive tool designed for the rigors of industrial metalworking. Identified by SKU 12D783, this mounted point is shaped to the standard W217 dimensions, typically featuring a 1-inch diameter and a 3/8-inch thickness, making it a versatile choice for a wide array of grinding and deburring tasks. It is particularly effective for face grinding and working within shallow recesses where larger wheels cannot reach.

The metallurgy of stainless steel requires abrasives that cut cool and resist loading. This Walter mounted point is formulated with a high-grade bonding matrix and premium abrasive grains specifically chosen for their compatibility with stainless steel. This ensures that the point cuts freely without generating excessive heat, which is critical for preventing the 'blueing' or heat tinting that can ruin the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless parts. The vitrified bond structure holds the grains firmly for aggressive stock removal but releases them at the optimal moment to prevent glazing.

Vibration is the enemy of precision. Walter Surface Technologies addresses this by ensuring every mounted point is meticulously balanced before it leaves the factory. For the welder or fabricator, this translates to a tool that runs true and smooth, allowing for precise manipulation inside pipes, fittings, and complex assemblies. The reduction in vibration also means less hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) risk for the operator, promoting a safer and more comfortable working environment.

Ideal for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) applications, this mounted point excels at enlarging holes, cleaning up castings, and blending contours. Its robust construction ensures it holds its shape well under pressure, providing a long service life and reducing the frequency of tool changes. Equip your die grinders with the Walter W217 to experience the difference that premium engineering makes in your daily grinding operations.
