Walter 7-Inch Type 1 Closed Cutting Guard for Model 6170

Stay Safe with the Walter 7" Cutting Guard

When you are slicing through thick plate or structural steel with your 7-inch grinder, the last thing you want to worry about is a wheel shattering. That is where the Walter 30B068 Closed Guard comes in. Designed specifically for your Walter grinders (like the 6170), this guard is built tough to keep you safe when the sparks start flying. It is known as a "Type 1" guard, meaning it wraps around the sides of the cutting wheel more than your standard grinding guard does.

Why does this matter? If a cutting wheel binds and breaks, the pieces fly out at bullet speeds. This closed guard acts as a shield, catching those pieces and directing them away from your face and body. It also does a better job of funneling sparks down and away, saving your clothes and reducing fire hazards in the shop. It is made of heavy-duty steel, so it can take a beating and keep on working just as hard as you do.

Swapping out your guard takes just a minute, but it can save you a lifetime of injury. If you are running cutoff wheels, ditch the open grinding guard and slap on the 30B068. It fits perfectly on Walter tools, locks on tight, and gives you the confidence to make your cuts aggressively and accurately without compromising your safety. Keep your gear compliant and keep yourself in one piece with genuine Walter accessories.
