08B455 - Walter HP 4.5-Inch Grinding Wheel with 5/8-11 Hub

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.
