OVERVIEW

Precision Guide for Linear Finishing

The Walter 55B049 Wheel Bar Kit is an essential accessory designed specifically for the Walter Maxi GT and compatible Maxi-series surface finishing tools. In industrial metalworking, achieving a consistent, uniform grain structure on stainless steel and other metals requires precise control over the contact pressure and angle of the abrasive drum. This wheel bar kit addresses that challenge by providing a stable, rolling carriage that attaches directly to the power tool.

By supporting the weight of the machine, the wheel bar allows the operator to glide the tool smoothly across the workpiece. This eliminates the 'start-stop' marks and uneven pressure often associated with manual free-hand operation. The assembly features durable wheels that roll easily over metal surfaces without marring them, ensuring that the focus remains on the abrasive action. The kit is engineered to withstand the vibration and dust typical of heavy-duty grinding and finishing environments.

Installation is straightforward, utilizing the existing mounting points on the Maxi GT. Once installed, the operator can adjust the guide to set the optimal depth of contact, ensuring that the abrasive media engages the surface at the correct intensity. This is particularly critical when matching existing finishes or preparing surfaces for sanitary applications where uniformity is paramount. The 55B049 is a genuine Walter Surface Technologies part, ensuring perfect fitment and reliability.
