OVERVIEW

Walter HP High Performance Grinding Wheel for Steel

The Walter 08B600 HP Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed for industrial metalworking professionals who demand efficiency and safety. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, the HP (High Performance) series sets the standard for grinding steel, offering an aggressive removal rate without sacrificing wheel life. This 6-inch Type 27 wheel features a 1/4-inch thickness and a standard 7/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial angle grinders.

In heavy fabrication environments, time is money. The HP formulation utilizes high-grade aluminum oxide grain (A-24) bonded with a specialized resinoid matrix that resists glazing and keeps the wheel cutting freely. This ensures that operators can remove heavy welds, bevel plates, and deburr steel structures with less downward pressure, reducing fatigue over long shifts. The wheel is reinforced to withstand the rigors of aggressive grinding, providing a safe and stable experience even under high torque.

Josef Gas supplies the Walter 08B600 to fabrication shops, shipyards, and construction sites where reliability is paramount. Unlike general-purpose wheels that may wear down rapidly or vibrate excessively, Walter HP wheels are balanced for smooth operation. This specific SKU is optimized for mild steel and structural steel applications, delivering consistent results from the first spark to the stub.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • High Removal Rate: Formulated to grind down welds and stock rapidly, increasing throughput.
  • Safety First: Heavily reinforced construction meets strict safety standards for high-speed grinding.
  • Cost Effective: Long wheel life reduces the frequency of changeovers, lowering total abrasive costs.
  • Compatibility: Fits standard 6-inch grinders with a 7/8-inch shaft/flange system.

FAQ

This wheel is specifically designed for grinding steel. It is not recommended for aluminum (which may clog it) or masonry.

The 08B600 has a 7/8-inch unthreaded arbor hole, designed to be used with the flange nut provided with your angle grinder.

This is a Type 27 (depressed center) wheel, which allows for grinding at a 15-30 degree angle without the mounting nut interfering with the work.

No, this is a 1/4-inch thick grinding wheel. It is too thick for cutting and is designed for surface grinding and stock removal only.

Always check the label on the wheel itself, but standard 6-inch grinding wheels are typically rated for around 10,200 RPM. Ensure your grinder does not exceed the wheel's rating.

No, the 08B600 has a standard 7/8" open arbor. If you need the spin-on hub version, you would typically look for a different part number (often ending in a different suffix or 'Spin-On').
