12E444 - Walter 7-Inch x 1-Inch Bench Grinder Wheel 36 Grit Coarse

Industrial Grade General Purpose Grinding

The Walter 12E444 is a high-performance 7-inch bench grinding wheel designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial workshops and maintenance departments. Engineered with a coarse 36-grit abrasive matrix, this wheel is specifically optimized for heavy stock removal, shaping metal parts, and aggressive deburring tasks. Unlike standard consumer-grade wheels that may wear unevenly or glaze over quickly, Walter's formulation ensures consistent grain breakdown, exposing fresh cutting edges to maintain efficiency throughout the wheel's lifespan.

One of the standout technical features of this product is its universal adaptability. Each unit is supplied with a set of high-quality nested reducer bushings. While the wheel features a standard 1-inch arbor, these bushings allow secure installation on machines with 3/4-inch, 5/8-inch, or 1/2-inch shafts. This eliminates the need for separate inventory for different machine brands and ensures a concentric, vibration-free fit essential for precision work and operator safety.

Ideally suited for stationary bench and pedestal grinders, this Type 1 straight wheel provides a stable platform for working on a variety of materials. While primarily targeted at steel and general metal fabrication, its robust construction allows it to handle the heat and stress of continuous grinding applications. Whether you are re-profiling a tool edge, removing heavy flash from a casting, or prepping a weld seam, the 12E444 delivers the reliability professionals expect from Walter Surface Technologies.
