12E447 - Walter 7-Inch 60 Grit General Purpose Bench Grinder Wheel

High-Performance General Purpose Grinding

The Walter 12E447 Bench Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed to enhance the capabilities of standard bench and pedestal grinders. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in industrial abrasives, this wheel is formulated to deliver consistent, reliable results across a variety of maintenance and fabrication tasks. Measuring 7 inches in diameter with a 1-inch face width, it provides a substantial contact area for stable grinding, making it an excellent choice for workshops that demand precision and durability.

Versatile Material Compatibility

One of the standout features of this specific wheel is its versatility. While many bench wheels are strictly categorized for either ferrous metals or non-ferrous carbides, the Walter 12E447 is designed to handle both Steel and Carbide applications effectively. This dual-capability makes it an invaluable asset in mixed-use environments where operators frequently switch between sharpening carbide-tipped tools and deburring mild steel components. The 60-grit composition strikes a balance between rapid stock removal and surface finish, allowing for efficient shaping without leaving an excessively rough edge.

Universal Fitment System

Installation compatibility is often a challenge with replacement abrasive wheels. Walter addresses this with a comprehensive bushing system. The wheel features a standard 1-inch arbor hole but comes supplied with a set of high-quality nested reducer bushings. These adapters allow the wheel to be securely mounted on shafts measuring 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2". This universal design ensures that the 12E447 can be integrated into almost any 7-inch bench grinder setup found in industrial tool rooms, maintenance shops, or production floors.

Durability and Balance

Safety and operational smoothness are critical in bench grinding. Walter wheels are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure excellent balance, significantly reducing vibration during operation. Reduced vibration not only improves the surface finish of the workpiece but also reduces wear on the grinder's bearings and fatigue for the operator. With an impressive wheel life, this product offers a low cost-per-grind, ensuring that your shop remains productive with fewer interruptions for wheel replacements.
