OVERVIEW

Genuine Walter Replacement Magnet Switch for ICECUT Units

The Walter Magnet Switch (SKU: 48J756) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies' line of high-performance magnetic drilling units, such as the ICECUT series. In the realm of industrial metalworking and fabrication, the reliability of your equipment is paramount. The magnetic base of a drilling unit is its primary safety feature, anchoring the heavy tool to the workpiece to ensure precision and prevent catastrophic accidents. This switch serves as the control interface for that electromagnetic hold, making it one of the most vital electrical components on the machine.

Over time, industrial switches are subjected to dust, metal shavings, vibration, and repetitive cycling, which can lead to mechanical wear or electrical failure. A failing magnet switch can manifest as intermittent holding power, difficulty engaging the magnet, or a complete inability to activate the base. Replacing a faulty switch with this genuine OEM part ensures that your ICECUT unit functions exactly as the engineers intended. Unlike generic switches that may not match the specific amperage ratings or physical dimensions of the housing, the 48J756 is manufactured to Walter's exact specifications for a perfect drop-in fit.

Maintenance professionals understand that using OEM parts is key to extending the lifecycle of capital equipment. This switch features robust internal contacts designed to handle the inductive load of the magnet coil without premature arcing or welding. The external rocker is built to withstand the rigors of a shop environment, resisting impact and debris ingress. By choosing the genuine Walter 48J756, you are investing in the continued safety and efficiency of your drilling operations, ensuring that your team can work with confidence knowing their equipment is secure.

Installation of this component should be performed by qualified personnel following standard electrical safety lockout/tagout procedures. The switch connects directly into the existing wiring harness of the ICECUT unit, restoring full functionality to the magnetic base control system. Whether you are performing routine preventative maintenance or an emergency repair to get a line back up and running, this switch is the definitive solution for magnet control issues on Walter drilling machines.

FAQ

The 48J756 is designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies magnetic drilling units, most notably the ICECUT series (e.g., ICECUT 100).

Yes, this is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part from Walter Surface Technologies, ensuring perfect fit and function.

Symptoms include the magnet failing to engage when switched, the switch feeling loose or not 'clicking' into position, or intermittent loss of magnetic hold.

It is not recommended. Generic switches may not fit the housing correctly or be rated for the specific inductive load of the magnetic coil, posing a safety risk.

No, this specific SKU (48J756) is typically the switch dedicated to the magnetic base activation. The motor usually has a separate start/stop control.

Ensure the unit is unplugged. Open the control panel housing, disconnect the wires from the old switch (noting their position), remove the old switch, snap the new one in, and reconnect the wires.

Specific illumination features depend on the exact revision of the ICECUT model, but this part is the direct replacement for the standard magnet control switch provided by Walter.

No, this is typically just the switch unit itself. You will reuse the existing wiring harness and terminal connectors inside your drill.
