08F501 - Walter HP Stainless 5-Inch Type 28 Spin-On Grinding Wheel

High-Performance Stainless Steel Grinding Solution

The Walter 08F501 HP Stainless Grinding Wheel represents a pinnacle in abrasive engineering, specifically designed to address the unique challenges of grinding stainless steel alloys. This 5-inch by 1/4-inch wheel features a specialized bonding matrix that is guaranteed free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, ensuring that the workpiece remains uncontaminated during the stock removal process. This is critical for industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical, and nuclear energy, where surface purity and corrosion resistance are paramount. The abrasive grain structure is optimized to resist glazing, maintaining a sharp cutting action even under heavy pressure.

Type 28 Geometry and Spin-On Technology

Distinct from standard Type 27 depressed center wheels, this model utilizes a Type 28 "saucer" shape. This geometry allows the operator to grind at a much flatter angle (typically 0 to 15 degrees) relative to the workpiece. This increased contact area facilitates smoother blending and reduces the risk of gouging, making it an excellent choice for processing large surface areas or complex contours. Furthermore, the wheel is equipped with Walter's proprietary Spin-On mounting system. This integrated 5/8"-11 threaded hub eliminates the need for a flange nut and pin wrench, ensuring the wheel is always perfectly centered. The result is a significant reduction in vibration, which not only extends the life of the angle grinder but also minimizes operator fatigue during extended use.

Industrial Efficiency and Safety

In high-throughput industrial environments, downtime associated with wheel changes can accumulate significantly. The Spin-On system allows for tool-free replacement in seconds, streamlining workflow. Combined with the wheel's high removal rate and long service life, the 08F501 offers an exceptional cost-per-grind ratio. It is engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty fabrication while providing the precision required for high-quality finishing preparation.
