12D036 - Walter A-12 Grinding Point for Steel and Cast Iron

Precision Finishing with Walter A-12 Mounted Points

The Walter A-12 Mounted Point (SKU: 12D036) represents the pinnacle of precision grinding for industrial applications. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in surface treatment solutions, this abrasive tool is engineered specifically to handle the demands of tough steel, tool steel, and high-tensile alloys. When working in fabrication, foundry, or die shop environments, professionals require consumables that not only remove material efficiently but also maintain structural integrity under high RPMs.

One of the standout features of this mounted point is its impeccable balance. Inferior grinding points often suffer from eccentricity, leading to severe vibration during operation. This vibration can cause "chatter" on the workpiece, ruining fine finishes, and can significantly shorten the lifespan of pneumatic or electric die grinders by damaging the bearings. Walter manufactures the 12D036 to strict tolerances, ensuring smooth, vibration-free rotation. This allows the operator to maintain steady control for delicate tasks such as fitting metal parts, enlarging holes, or deburring hard-to-reach crevices.

The abrasive composition is formulated for "Tough Steel," meaning it resists glazing and maintains a sharp cutting action even on harder materials like cast iron and high-tensile steel. Whether you are cleaning up a casting, prepping a mold, or performing maintenance repairs, the A-12 shape offers a versatile profile suitable for a wide range of contours. By choosing Walter, you are investing in safety, efficiency, and a superior finish for your critical metalworking projects.
