OVERVIEW

Don't Cut Corners on Safety

When you are deep in a fabrication job, cutting through thick plate or structural steel, the last thing you want to worry about is your safety gear failing. The Walter Cutting Wheel Guard 7" (30B065) is designed for the welder who knows that a standard grinding guard just doesn't cut it when you're slicing metal. Cutting wheels are thin, fast, and aggressive. If one binds and shatters, you need a guard that is built to catch the pieces, not one that leaves you exposed. This guard is your first line of defense against flying debris and hot sparks.

We know that sometimes guards get in the way, and the temptation to take them off is there. But Walter has designed this guard to offer maximum protection without killing your visibility or maneuverability. It fits 7-inch grinders perfectly, giving you the clearance you need to make deep, precise cuts while keeping the nasty stuff directed away from your face and gloves. It’s made from tough steel that can take a beating, so it lasts as long as your grinder does. Whether you are working in a pipe shop, a shipyard, or on a construction site, this guard is essential equipment.

Swapping out your grinding guard for this cutting guard takes just a minute, but it could save you a trip to the ER. It’s designed to handle the specific hazards of cutting—like wheel bursts and kickback—better than the open-faced guards used for grinding. Keep your shop safe and your inspections clean by using the right tool for the job. With the Walter 30B065, you get peace of mind knowing you are protected by one of the most trusted names in the abrasive industry.
