OVERVIEW

Genuine Replacement Housing for Walter Line-Mate III

The Walter 48L492 Housing is a critical replacement component designed to restore the structural integrity and safety of your Walter Surface Technologies power tools. Specifically engineered for the Line-Mate III (Model 30-A 268) and compatible with the Big-Buff III (Model 30-A 269), this housing unit serves as the primary enclosure for the tool's motor and internal mechanisms. Over time, industrial environments can take a toll on power tools; drops, impacts, and heavy usage may lead to cracks or damage in the outer shell. Replacing a compromised housing is essential not only for the longevity of the machine but also for the safety of the operator.

As a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, the 48L492 guarantees a perfect fit without the need for modification. It aligns precisely with the internal motor mounts, switch assemblies, and gear heads of the Line-Mate III series. Using non-OEM parts for housing replacements can often lead to misalignment, increased vibration, or poor heat dissipation, which can shorten the life of the tool's motor. This Walter housing is manufactured from high-impact, durable materials capable of withstanding the rigors of metal fabrication shops, welding floors, and maintenance facilities.

Maintenance professionals understand that a tool is only as good as its condition. A cracked housing can expose live electrical components or allow conductive dust and debris to enter the motor windings, leading to premature failure. By installing the 48L492, you ensure that the tool remains sealed against contaminants and continues to provide the ergonomic grip and balance that Walter tools are known for. Whether you are repairing a single unit or maintaining a fleet of finishing tools, this replacement housing is the standard for quality and reliability.
