08W502 - Walter Allsteel 5-Inch Grinding and Notching Wheel

Versatile Grinding Performance with Walter Allsteel

The Walter 08W502 Allsteel Grinding Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern metal fabrication. Measuring 5 inches in diameter with a 1/8-inch thickness, this wheel is engineered to provide a perfect balance between aggressive material removal and precise control. It is specifically formulated to work effectively on both steel and stainless steel, making it an incredibly versatile tool for workshops that handle a variety of materials. By using a high-strength abrasive grain, Walter has created a wheel that cuts freely and resists loading, ensuring consistent performance throughout its lifespan.

One of the standout features of the Allsteel line is its ability to deliver rapid stock removal without requiring excessive pressure from the operator. This "cool cutting" action not only reduces heat buildup—critical when working with stainless steel to prevent discoloration—but also significantly lowers operator fatigue during extended use. The 1/8-inch thickness is particularly advantageous for applications that go beyond standard surface grinding, such as notching and root pass cleaning, where a standard 1/4-inch wheel might be too bulky. This profile allows fabricators to get into tighter spaces while still having the structural integrity needed for side-loading pressure associated with grinding.

Safety is paramount in the design of Walter abrasives. The 08W502 is heavily reinforced to withstand the stresses of aggressive grinding, providing peace of mind in demanding industrial environments. The wheel is constructed to minimize vibration, which further enhances control and finish quality. Whether you are smoothing out welds, preparing surfaces for painting, or performing light notching tasks, the Walter Allsteel wheel delivers a smooth, gouge-free experience. Its durability means fewer wheel changes, leading to reduced downtime and lower overall abrasive costs for your operation.

Choose the Walter Allsteel 5" x 1/8" wheel for a reliable, high-performance abrasive that simplifies your inventory by handling multiple materials with ease. It represents the quality and innovation that professionals have come to expect from the Walter Surface Technologies brand.
