48R412 - Walter M5 x 12mm Replacement Screw for Power Tools

Precision Fastening for Walter Power Tools

The Walter 48R412 Screw M5x12 is a genuine OEM replacement component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of Walter Surface Technologies power tools. In the realm of industrial MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations), the integrity of every fastener is paramount. Using non-standard or generic screws in high-performance equipment can lead to compromised safety guards, loose housing assemblies, and increased vibration, which ultimately shortens the lifespan of the tool. This screw features a precision-machined M5 metric thread profile, ensuring a tight, secure fit that resists the high-frequency vibrations typical of angle grinders and finishing tools.

Manufactured from high-grade steel, the 48R412 offers the tensile strength required to withstand the torque specifications of industrial assembly. The 12mm length is a common specification for securing safety guards, handle brackets, and gear housing covers on various Walter models. Engineers and maintenance technicians understand that maintaining the original specifications of a tool is critical for compliance with safety standards. This component ensures that your equipment remains within the manufacturer's design parameters, providing peace of mind and operational continuity.

When servicing Walter equipment, such as the Big Buff or other surface finishing tools, relying on the correct part number ensures compatibility. The 48R412 is not just a fastener; it is a part of the engineered system that makes Walter tools reliable. Its corrosion-resistant finish also aids in preventing seizure, making future maintenance tasks easier. Whether you are conducting a routine overhaul or an emergency repair, this M5x12 screw is an essential stock item for any tool crib managing Walter assets.

Proper installation of this screw requires the appropriate drive tool, typically a hex key or screwdriver depending on the specific head type used in the batch (often socket cap or pan head for these applications). Ensure threads are clean before installation to prevent cross-threading and to guarantee maximum holding power. By choosing genuine Walter parts, you protect your investment and ensure the safety of the operator.
