OVERVIEW

High-Performance Abrasive Solution for Industrial Steel Grinding

The Walter Surface Technologies HP Grinding Wheel (SKU: 08-B-450) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication. Designed with a focus on efficiency and safety, this 4-1/2 inch Type 27 wheel features Walter's proprietary bonding technology, delivering an exceptional removal rate on steel surfaces. The "HP" designation stands for High Performance, indicating a formulation that balances aggressive material removal with extended wheel life, ensuring that operators can work longer with fewer interruptions for wheel changes.

One of the standout features of this abrasive product is the integrated Spin-On hub system. This 5/8-11 threaded arbor allows for tool-free mounting and dismounting, significantly reducing downtime associated with wheel changes. In high-volume production environments, the cumulative time saved by the Spin-On system translates to measurable productivity gains. Furthermore, the hub is deeply anchored into the wheel structure, providing a mechanical lock that enhances safety and stability during high-RPM operation. This design minimizes vibration, leading to a smoother surface finish and reduced wear on the power tool.

The abrasive grain utilized in the 08-B-450 is a high-grade aluminum oxide, optimized for carbon steel applications. It resists glazing and maintains a sharp cutting edge throughout the life of the wheel. Whether the task involves heavy weld removal, beveling, or general shaping, the Walter HP wheel delivers consistent results. Its 1/4-inch thickness provides the rigidity necessary for heavy stock removal, making it a staple in shipyards, structural steel shops, and general fabrication facilities.

Safety is paramount in abrasive operations, and Walter has designed this wheel to exceed standard safety requirements. The depressed center configuration allows for proper grinding angles, while the reinforcement layers ensure structural integrity under stress. By choosing the Walter HP Spin-On Grinding Wheel, facility managers and procurement specialists are investing in a product that prioritizes operator safety, process efficiency, and long-term cost savings.

FAQ

The Spin-On feature refers to the integrated 5/8-11 threaded hub built into the center of the grinding wheel. This allows you to screw the wheel directly onto the spindle of your angle grinder by hand, eliminating the need for a separate flange nut or pin wrench.

The Walter HP 08-B-450 is primarily formulated for use on steel (carbon steel). While it can physically grind other metals, using it on stainless steel may lead to contamination or less efficient cutting compared to a wheel specifically designed for stainless applications.

While the specific RPM should always be verified on the wheel's label, standard 4-1/2 inch grinding wheels are typically rated for approximately 13,300 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed the rating printed on the wheel.

No, this is a Type 27 grinding wheel with a 1/4-inch thickness. It is designed for grinding, shaping, and stock removal. It should not be used for cutting (cutoff) operations, as the side load forces during cutting are different from grinding forces.

This wheel features an A-24 grit rating (A24HPS), which is a coarse grit ideal for aggressive material removal and heavy grinding tasks.

It fits 4-1/2 inch angle grinders that have a standard 5/8-11 threaded spindle. This is the most common spindle size for North American grinders, but you should verify your tool's spindle size before purchasing.

These wheels are often sold individually, but they are manufactured in packs of 20. Please check the specific quantity selector on the product page to confirm if you are buying a single unit or a box.

The Type 27 'depressed center' shape allows the locking nut (or in this case, the built-in hub) to sit recessed, permitting grinding at a 15 to 30-degree angle without the mounting hardware interfering with the work surface.
