OVERVIEW

Versatile Cutting and Grinding with Walter A30 Combo

In the fast-paced world of metal fabrication, time spent changing accessories is time lost. The Walter A30 Combo wheel (SKU: 08B512) is engineered to solve this problem by delivering a dual-purpose abrasive solution. Designed to safely perform both cutting and light grinding operations, this 5-inch wheel allows operators to cut a piece of metal to size and immediately deburr or grind it without stopping to swap discs. This versatility makes it an essential tool for pipe fitters, maintenance crews, and fabricators who need agility and efficiency.

Safety is paramount when using abrasive wheels, especially when applying side pressure. Standard cut-off wheels are thin and liable to shatter if used for grinding. The Walter A30 Combo features a reinforced Type 27 depressed center design and a 1/8-inch thickness, providing the structural integrity required for off-hand cutting, notching, grooving, and light grinding. It withstands the stress of lateral pressure that would destroy a standard zip wheel, giving operators peace of mind and reducing the risk of injury.

Performance is not sacrificed for versatility. The A30 grit formulation ensures rapid material removal on both steel and stainless steel. Whether you are beveling a pipe for welding, notching structural beams, or simply cleaning up a rough cut, this wheel delivers consistent results. By consolidating two steps into one, the Walter A30 Combo reduces inventory requirements and keeps your project moving forward smoothly.

FAQ

A standard Zipcut is very thin (usually .045") and designed only for cutting; using it for grinding is dangerous. This Combo wheel is thicker (1/8") and reinforced to safely handle the side pressure of grinding, while still being able to cut.

While it can physically grind aluminum, it is designed primarily for steel and stainless steel. Using it on aluminum may cause the wheel to clog (load up) quickly. Walter offers specific wheels for aluminum.

It fits most standard 5-inch angle grinders that accept a 7/8-inch arbor hole. Always ensure your grinder's guard is adjusted correctly for a Type 27 wheel.

Type 27 refers to the shape of the wheel. It has a depressed center, which allows the locking nut to sit recessed, enabling the operator to grind at flatter angles and get closer to the work surface.

It is designed for light grinding, deburring, and notching. For heavy stock removal over large areas, a dedicated 1/4-inch grinding wheel is generally more economical and faster.

The maximum RPM is typically 12,200 for 5-inch Walter wheels, but you must always check the label printed on the actual wheel to ensure it matches or exceeds your grinder's speed.

Yes, the 1/8-inch thickness makes it excellent for grooving and notching applications where a thinner cutting wheel might be too flexible.
