48S175 - Walter M5x8 Burnished Replacement Machine Screw

Precision OEM Fastening for Industrial Tools

The Walter 48S175 Burnished Screw M5X8 is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies power tools. In the realm of industrial equipment, the integrity of every fastener plays a pivotal role in operator safety and tool longevity. This screw features a precision-cut M5 metric thread with an 8mm length, engineered to exact tolerances to ensure a secure fit within the tool's assembly. Unlike generic hardware store fasteners, this OEM part is manufactured to meet the specific tensile strength and hardness requirements of Walter's high-performance equipment.

The "burnished" finish on this screw typically refers to a black oxide conversion coating. This treatment serves multiple engineering purposes: it provides mild corrosion resistance without altering the dimensional tolerance of the threads, reduces light reflection (glare), and offers a degree of lubricity that helps prevent galling during installation. When repairing high-speed angle grinders, sanders, or finishing tools, using the correct screw prevents damage to the internal castings and ensures that guards, handles, and housings remain firmly attached despite the intense vibration inherent to abrasive work.

Maintenance professionals understand that substituting with incorrect thread pitches or lower-grade steel can lead to stripped threads or catastrophic failure under load. The 48S175 is designed to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use. Whether you are replacing a lost fastener during a routine service or conducting a comprehensive rebuild of a Walter tool, relying on genuine Walter parts guarantees that the equipment returns to its original factory specifications. This screw is a small but essential component in keeping your production line running smoothly and your tools safe for operation.
