OVERVIEW

High-Performance Material Removal

The Walter 12E344 Bench Grinding Wheel is engineered for industrial environments where reliability and consistency are paramount. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch thickness, this wheel utilizes a coarse 36-grit abrasive structure designed for rapid stock removal and heavy-duty shaping tasks. The vitrified bond matrix ensures that the wheel maintains its geometry over time, reducing the frequency of dressing required compared to inferior alternatives. This wheel is formulated to handle a variety of materials, including steel and carbide, making it a versatile addition to any machine shop or fabrication floor.

Universal Compatibility

One of the standout features of this Walter abrasive product is its universal fitment system. While the core arbor size is 1 inch, the product comes standard with a set of high-quality reducer bushings. These bushings allow the wheel to be safely and securely mounted on shafts measuring 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2". This eliminates the need for separate adapters and ensures that the wheel can be deployed across different machines in your facility without compatibility concerns. The precise manufacturing of the arbor hole and bushings ensures minimal runout and vibration during operation.

Operational Safety and Efficiency

Safety and operator comfort are critical in grinding operations. Walter Surface Technologies manufactures these wheels to strict balance tolerances, significantly reducing vibration at operating speeds. Less vibration translates to better surface finishes, less wear on the grinder's bearings, and reduced operator fatigue. Whether you are deburring machined parts, sharpening tools, or hogging off material, this 36-grit wheel delivers consistent cutting action and a cool cut to prevent thermal damage to the workpiece.

FAQ

This wheel is 36 grit, which is a coarse grit suitable for rapid material removal and rough shaping.

Yes, it includes a set of reducer bushings to fit 1", 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2" arbor shafts.

The wheel is 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

Absolutely. Just insert the included 1/2-inch reducer bushing into the arbor hole before mounting.

While it can be used, 36 grit is quite coarse. A finer grit (like 60 or 80) is typically preferred for fine sharpening of drill bits to get a smooth edge.

It is designed for general grinding on steel and can also be used on carbide, according to the manufacturer specifications.

Like all vitrified bench wheels, it should be dressed periodically with a wheel dresser to maintain a flat face and expose fresh abrasive grain.
