OVERVIEW

Essential Safety for Industrial Grinding

The Walter 48M444 5" Wheel Guard is a critical safety component engineered specifically for Walter Surface Technologies' line of high-performance angle grinders. In professional industrial environments, maintaining the integrity of safety equipment is not just a recommendation—it is a necessity for operational compliance and personnel protection. This guard is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of heavy-duty metal fabrication, providing a robust physical barrier between the abrasive wheel and the operator.

Constructed from high-grade durable metal, the 48M444 effectively deflects high-velocity sparks, hot metal debris, and potential wheel fragments away from the user. It is an essential replacement part for damaged or missing guards on Walter 5-inch grinders, such as the Big Buff III series. Ensuring your tools are equipped with the correct OEM guard helps facilities meet OSHA safety standards regarding abrasive wheel machinery. The guard installs securely to the tool's collar, offering stability without compromising the maneuverability required for precision grinding and cutting tasks.

By choosing a genuine Walter accessory, you ensure that the fit and function match the original specifications of the power tool. This eliminates the risks associated with ill-fitting universal guards that can slip or vibrate loose during operation. Invest in the safety of your workforce and the longevity of your equipment with this reliable wheel guard.
