OVERVIEW

Extreme Removal Rate for Industrial Grinding

The Walter Xcavator XX™ (SKU: 08X502) represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty grinding technology. Engineered for industrial environments where time and efficiency are critical, this 5-inch grinding wheel features a proprietary ceramic grain blend that self-sharpens during use. This ensures that the wheel maintains a consistent, aggressive cutting action throughout its lifespan, preventing the glazing and dulling often associated with standard aluminum oxide wheels.

With a thickness of 1/8 inch, this wheel strikes a balance between durability and aggressive bite, allowing for rapid stock removal on the toughest materials, including hardened steel and hard alloys. The Xcavator XX is specifically formulated to be Fe-Free (Iron-Free), making it an ideal choice for nuclear, pharmaceutical, and food-grade stainless steel applications where cross-contamination must be strictly avoided. Its cool-cutting properties also help reduce heat discoloration and warping on heat-sensitive materials.

Operators will appreciate the reduced vibration and lower pressure required to achieve high removal rates, which contributes to lower fatigue during extended grinding sessions. Whether you are beveling plates, grinding down heavy welds, or shaping hard metal parts, the Xcavator XX delivers measurable productivity gains.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Ceramic Technology: Advanced grain structure fractures to reveal new sharp edges, maintaining peak performance.
  • Contaminant Free: Guaranteed free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine for safe use on stainless steel.
  • High Productivity: Designed to remove more material in less time than competitor wheels.

FAQ

The Xcavator XX is designed for steel, stainless steel, and hard metals. It is particularly effective on hardened alloys due to its ceramic grain.

Yes, the Xcavator XX is Fe-Free (free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine), ensuring it will not contaminate stainless steel or cause rust issues.

This wheel has a standard 7/8" arbor, fitting most 5-inch angle grinders.

The 1/8" thickness allows for a more aggressive bite compared to standard 1/4" wheels, enabling faster material removal rates.

No, this is a Type 27 depressed center wheel that mounts directly to the grinder using the standard flange nut or backing flange provided with your tool.

The maximum safe operating speed is typically 12,250 RPM for 5-inch wheels, but always verify with the label on the wheel itself.

Ceramic grain is harder and has a micro-crystalline structure that self-sharpens, providing a cooler cut and much longer life than standard aluminum oxide.

While 1/8" is thinner than some grinding wheels, the Xcavator XX is designed primarily for grinding. For cutting, a Zipcut or similar cutting wheel is recommended.
