OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty 8-Inch Bench Grinding Wheel for Industrial Applications

The Walter 12E533 Bench Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed for professionals who demand reliability and performance in their workshop. Measuring 8 inches in diameter with a 1-inch width, this wheel is engineered to tackle the toughest general-purpose grinding tasks. The 24-grit composition provides a coarse, aggressive cutting action, making it the ideal choice for rapid stock removal, heavy deburring, and shaping of ferrous metals. Whether you are cleaning up a rough weld, resizing a steel component, or performing initial shaping on tools, this wheel delivers consistent results without excessive heat buildup.

One of the standout features of this Walter grinding wheel is its universal compatibility. It comes equipped with a set of nested reducer bushings that allow it to mount securely onto a wide variety of shaft sizes, including 1-inch, 3/4-inch, 5/8-inch, and 1/2-inch arbors. This eliminates the frustration of sourcing separate adapters and ensures that the wheel can be used on almost any standard bench or pedestal grinder found in maintenance shops, fabrication floors, or home garages. The wheel is manufactured with a durable vitrified bond that maintains its structural integrity under load, ensuring a long service life and reducing the frequency of wheel changes.

Safety and precision are paramount in abrasive operations. Walter Surface Technologies manufactures these wheels to strict tolerances, ensuring they are well-balanced right out of the box. A balanced wheel reduces vibration during operation, which not only improves the surface finish of the workpiece but also protects the grinder's bearings and reduces operator fatigue. For industrial MRO environments where efficiency is key, the Walter 12E533 offers the perfect balance of aggression, durability, and versatility.

FAQ

The wheel comes with nested reducer bushings to fit shafts of 1", 3/4", 5/8", and 1/2". The native arbor hole is 1-1/4".

This is a 24-grit wheel, which is considered coarse. It is best suited for rapid material removal rather than fine finishing.

While it can grind aluminum, standard aluminum oxide wheels may load up (clog) with soft metals like aluminum. It is primarily recommended for steel and ferrous metals.

The wheel has an 8-inch diameter and a 1-inch width (thickness).

A 24-grit wheel is quite aggressive. It is better for shaping or repairing damaged edges. For fine sharpening, a finer grit (60 or higher) is recommended.

No, this is the replacement grinding wheel only. It is an accessory for bench or pedestal grinders.

Always check the label on the wheel itself for the specific Max RPM rating, but 8-inch bench wheels typically operate around 3,600 RPM.

It is good practice to dress a new bench grinding wheel to ensure it is perfectly true and to expose fresh abrasive grain, although Walter wheels are well-balanced from the factory.
