12E553 - Walter 8-Inch Bench Grinder Wheel, 24 Grit Coarse, with Bushings

Industrial Grade 8-Inch Bench Grinding Wheel

The Walter 12E553 is a premium 8-inch bench grinding wheel designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this abrasive wheel features a coarse 24 grit composition, making it the ideal choice for rapid stock removal, shaping, and aggressive grinding tasks. Whether you are deburring heavy machinery parts or reshaping tools, the structural integrity of this wheel ensures consistent performance and safety under load.

One of the standout features of this product is its universal adaptability. The wheel is manufactured with a 1-1/4" arbor hole but comes supplied with a complete set of nested reducer bushings. These high-quality bushings allow the wheel to be securely mounted on shafts of 1", 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2" diameters. This versatility significantly reduces inventory requirements for facilities with multiple grinder types, as a single SKU can service a wide range of equipment.

Durability is at the core of Walter's abrasive technology. This wheel is formulated to resist glazing and maintain a sharp cutting face longer than standard economy wheels. It is rated for use on both steel and carbide materials, providing a flexible solution for mixed-material workshops. The wheel is balanced to minimize vibration, protecting the grinder's bearings and providing a smoother operation for the user. When precision and power are required for general purpose grinding, the Walter 12E553 delivers reliable results.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Aggressive Removal: 24 grit structure allows for fast material hogging.
