OVERVIEW

Precision Grinding for Tough Environments

The Walter A-11 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D031) is a premium abrasive tool designed to tackle the most demanding metalworking challenges. When precision and finish quality are paramount, especially in confined areas where larger grinding wheels cannot reach, this mounted point serves as an essential solution for fabricators and machinists. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in industrial abrasives, this product is engineered to provide a flawless finish on difficult materials such as tough steel, tool steel, and high-tensile alloys.

One of the standout features of the Walter 12D031 is its exceptional balance. In high-speed die grinding applications, vibration can be a significant issue, leading to operator fatigue, chatter marks on the workpiece, and premature wear on the power tool. Walter addresses this by crafting each point with the highest quality abrasive grains and ensuring strict concentricity during manufacturing. The result is a vibration-free experience that allows for greater control and smoother grinding action, even at high RPMs.

This A-11 shaped point is particularly effective for fitting and enlarging holes, as well as smoothing out ridges and irregular surfaces in castings. Its composition is optimized to resist glazing, ensuring that the abrasive grains remain sharp and effective throughout the life of the product. Whether you are working on cast iron components or refining the edges of a high-tensile steel part, the Walter A-11 Mounted Point delivers consistent performance and superior durability.

Key Benefits:

  • Vibration-Free: Perfectly balanced to protect your tools and ensure operator comfort.
  • High Performance: Aggressive removal rate on tough metals without sacrificing finish quality.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for tight spaces, internal diameters, and complex geometries.

FAQ

The Walter 12D031 features the standard A-11 shape, which is cylindrical with a rounded nose, typically measuring 7/8" in diameter and 1-3/4" in length.

It is specifically designed for tough steel, tool steel, high-tensile steel, and cast iron.

No, Walter manufactures these points with exceptional balance to eliminate vibration, ensuring a smooth finish and reduced operator fatigue.

You will need a die grinder (pneumatic or electric) equipped with a 1/4-inch collet.

Yes, the A-11 shape is ideal for fitting, enlarging holes, and working in tight spaces.

The shank diameter is a standard 1/4 inch.

While it can grind steel, it is optimized for 'tough steel' and cast iron. For dedicated stainless steel work, a contaminant-free abrasive is often recommended, though this will cut steel alloys effectively.
