OVERVIEW

High-Performance Grinding for Industrial Applications

The Walter 08B455 HP Grinding Wheel is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication and maintenance. As part of Walter Surface Technologies' renowned High Performance (HP) line, this 4-1/2 inch wheel is formulated to deliver an exceptional lifespan without compromising on removal speed. It is the ideal solution for facilities looking to optimize consumable usage and reduce the frequency of wheel changeovers, ultimately driving down total production costs.

This abrasive wheel features a Type 27 depressed center design, measuring 1/4 inch in thickness, making it robust enough for heavy stock removal and aggressive grinding tasks. The A24 grit rating indicates a coarse composition perfect for tackling tough steel surfaces, whether you are deburring heavy plate or smoothing out large weld seams. The inclusion of a 5/8-11 threaded arbor allows for a secure, spin-on attachment to standard angle grinders, eliminating the need for locking nuts and flange keys, which streamlines the workflow in busy shop environments.

Safety and consistency are paramount in the design of the HP wheel. Walter utilizes advanced bonding agents that maintain structural integrity even under high stress and heat. This ensures that the wheel wears evenly, providing a consistent finish from the first spark to the last. For procurement managers and tool crib supervisors, the Walter 08B455 represents a reliable, high-quality abrasive that supports continuous operation and efficiency in steel working applications.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Extended Lifespan: Formulated to last longer than standard grinding wheels, reducing inventory turnover.
  • Time Efficiency: The 5/8-11 hub allows for tool-free wheel changes, minimizing downtime.
  • Cost Effectiveness: High removal rates combined with durability lower the cost per grind.

FAQ

This wheel is specifically designed for grinding steel. It uses an A24 grit aluminum oxide formulation that is optimized for carbon steel applications.

The wheel features a 5/8-11 threaded arbor (hub). This allows it to be spun directly onto the spindle of most standard 4-1/2" and 5" angle grinders without a locking nut.

The maximum safe operating speed for this 4-1/2" wheel is typically 13,300 RPM. Always verify the rating printed on the wheel itself before use.

No, this is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel with a 1/4" thickness. It is designed for grinding on its face/edge, not for cutting. Using it for cutting can be dangerous.

The HP (High Performance) line is engineered to offer a better ratio of removal rate to wheel life, meaning it lasts longer and grinds faster than standard economy wheels.

While it can physically grind aluminum, it is not recommended as the soft metal will clog (load) the wheel quickly. Walter offers specific wheels designed for non-ferrous metals.

No, because this wheel comes with a built-in 5/8-11 threaded hub, you do not need the standard flange nut or backing flange. It screws directly onto the grinder spindle.

This wheel has a grit rating of 24 (A24), which is a coarse grit suitable for aggressive material removal.
