OVERVIEW

Precision Grinding with Walter Surface Technologies

The Walter 12E345 Bench Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed for industrial environments requiring reliability and precision. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a 1-inch thickness and 1-inch arbor, this wheel is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a variety of maintenance and fabrication tasks. The 46-grit composition is specifically selected to provide aggressive material removal while maintaining enough control for shaping and sharpening applications. Whether you are working with carbide tooling or general steel components, this wheel offers the durability expected from Walter Surface Technologies.

One of the standout technical features of this product is its universal compatibility system. Each wheel is supplied with a set of nested reducer bushings, allowing the 1-inch arbor to be effortlessly adapted to 3/4-inch, 5/8-inch, or 1/2-inch shafts. This eliminates the need for separate inventory for different grinder models and ensures a concentric, vibration-free fit on almost any bench or pedestal grinder. The wheel's structure is bonded to resist pore loading and maintain a cool cutting action, which is critical when grinding heat-sensitive materials or hardened tool steels.

In MRO settings, the longevity of consumables is a key factor in cost control. Walter's manufacturing process ensures that this bench grinding wheel retains its shape longer than standard economy wheels, reducing the frequency of dressing and replacement. It is an essential component for any workshop focused on tool maintenance, part fabrication, or general metal finishing. By combining high-quality abrasive grains with a robust bond matrix, Walter delivers a wheel that stands up to the rigors of daily industrial use.

FAQ

The wheel has a native 1-inch arbor but includes reducer bushings to fit 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2" shafts.

This wheel is suitable for grinding both Steel and Carbide, making it a versatile choice for mixed-use shops.

46 grit is considered medium-coarse. It is excellent for rapid material removal and shaping rather than fine polishing.

Yes, as long as your grinder takes a 6-inch diameter wheel and has a shaft size between 1/2" and 1", this wheel will fit.

It is good practice to dress any new bench grinding wheel to ensure it is perfectly true and to expose fresh abrasive grain.

Always check the label on the wheel itself for the specific Max RPM, but standard 6-inch vitrified wheels are typically rated for around 3,600 to 4,100 RPM.

The nested reducer bushings are included in the package with the wheel.
