12E543 - Walter 8-Inch x 1-Inch Bench Grinder Wheel - 24 Grit Coarse

Heavy-Duty General Purpose Grinding

The Walter Surface Technologies 12E543 Bench Grinding Wheel is engineered for reliability and performance in industrial settings. Measuring 8 inches in diameter with a 1-inch thickness, this wheel is constructed from high-grade aluminum oxide grain. The 24 grit composition provides a coarse texture, making it exceptionally effective for heavy stock removal, deburring, and shaping of steel components. Unlike inferior wheels that may wear unevenly or cause excessive vibration, Walter wheels are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure smooth operation and extended service life.

Universal Compatibility

One of the standout features of this product is its versatility regarding installation. While the wheel features a standard 1-inch arbor, it comes complete with a set of nested reducer bushings. These high-quality bushings allow the wheel to be securely mounted on bench and pedestal grinders with shaft sizes of 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2". This universal fitment system simplifies inventory management for workshops and ensures that the wheel is ready to use right out of the box, regardless of the specific grinder model available.

Performance and Safety

Safety and precision are paramount in grinding operations. This Type 1 straight wheel is designed to operate safely at speeds up to 3,600 RPM, standard for 8-inch bench grinders. The balanced construction minimizes wobble, which not only produces a better finish on the workpiece but also reduces bearing fatigue on the grinding machine. Whether used for sharpening tools, removing rust, or general fabrication tasks, the Walter 12E543 delivers consistent results.
