OVERVIEW

Genuine OEM Replacement Switch for Walter Tools

The Walter 48M804 is a high-quality, 2-pole replacement switch designed specifically for Walter Surface Technologies power tools. As an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component, this switch is engineered to meet the exact electrical and mechanical specifications of your Walter equipment, ensuring seamless integration and restoring the tool's original safety and performance standards.

Electrical components in industrial power tools are subject to significant wear and tear due to frequent cycling and exposure to dust and vibration. The 48M804 features a robust internal mechanism designed to handle the inductive loads typical of high-performance motors found in Walter grinders and finishing tools. Its 2-pole design ensures that both live conductors are disconnected when the switch is in the off position, providing an essential safety feature for operators.

Maintenance professionals understand that using genuine parts is critical for the longevity of industrial assets. Generic switches may not fit the housing correctly or may lack the appropriate amperage rating, leading to premature failure or safety hazards. By choosing the Walter 48M804, you ensure that the repair maintains the tool's CSA/UL certifications and operational reliability.

Key Technical Aspects:

  • Configuration: 2-Pole (Double Pole) for complete circuit isolation.
  • Fitment: Designed for specific Walter tool housings (verify model compatibility in manual).
  • Durability: High-cycle life construction suitable for industrial environments.

FAQ

Yes, this is a genuine OEM replacement switch manufactured by or for Walter Surface Technologies.

A 2-Pole switch controls two separate circuits simultaneously. In power tools, this typically means it disconnects both the hot and neutral (or both live lines) for added safety when the tool is off.

This switch fits several Walter models, often including units like the Line-Mate or Big Buff. Please check your tool's parts manual and verify the part number 48-M-804 matches.

It is not recommended. While switches may look similar, the dimensions and electrical ratings are specific to Walter tools. Using it elsewhere may result in poor fit or electrical failure.

Replacing a power tool switch generally requires opening the handle housing and moving electrical connectors. It is a straightforward repair for those with basic electrical repair experience.

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

Switches are mechanical wear items. Over time, dust ingress (common in grinding) and electrical arcing can cause the internal contacts to wear out or stick.
