OVERVIEW

High-Performance Industrial Grinding with Walter Allsteel

In the demanding world of industrial metal fabrication and MRO, efficiency is measured by the speed of material removal and the longevity of consumables. The Walter Allsteel 7" x 1/4" Grinding Wheel (08W700) is engineered to deliver exceptional results across a broad range of applications. Designed with the latest advancements in abrasive grain technology and resin bonding, this wheel provides a consistent, aggressive cut that reduces the time required for heavy stock removal tasks.

The Allsteel series is specifically formulated to handle both carbon steel and stainless steel with equal proficiency. This versatility simplifies inventory management for workshops that handle mixed materials, eliminating the need to swap wheels constantly. The 1/4-inch thickness provides the rigidity and durability necessary for heavy weld grinding, beveling, and edge preparation. Unlike lower-quality alternatives that may glaze over or degrade rapidly under heat, the Walter Allsteel wheel maintains its cutting edge, ensuring that the operator can work continuously without frequent interruptions to dress or replace the wheel.

Safety and Structural Integrity

Safety is paramount in heavy industrial grinding. Walter Surface Technologies has integrated heavy-duty reinforcement layers into the 08W700 to withstand the high torque and lateral forces typical of 7-inch angle grinder operations. This structural integrity not only protects the operator but also ensures the wheel runs true, minimizing vibration. Reduced vibration translates to less wear on the power tool and lower risk of vibration-related injuries for the user.

Key Industrial Applications

  • Heavy Weld Removal: Rapidly grinds down excess weld metal on structural steel beams and plates.
  • Beveling: Creates precise bevels for pipe joining and plate welding preparation.
  • Surface Preparation: Removes scale, rust, and imperfections before painting or coating.
  • Maintenance & Repair: Ideal for general fabrication tasks in shipyards, construction sites, and manufacturing plants.

For procurement managers and facility operators, the Walter Allsteel wheel represents a cost-effective solution that balances unit cost with performance longevity, ultimately lowering the total cost of grinding operations.

FAQ

The arbor size is 7/8 inch, which is the standard bore for most 7-inch angle grinders.

While it can physically grind aluminum, it is not recommended as the soft metal will clog (load) the wheel quickly. For aluminum, use Walter's ALU series wheels designed to prevent loading.

Yes, the Allsteel formulation is specifically designed to be effective on both mild steel and stainless steel without contaminating the stainless surface.

The maximum safe operating speed is 8,600 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's RPM does not exceed this rating.

This is a grinding wheel with a 1/4-inch thickness (Type 27). It is designed for face grinding and stock removal, not for cutting through material.

Type 27 refers to the shape of the wheel, which has a depressed center. This allows the locking nut to sit flush or below the face of the wheel, enabling grinding at flat angles (typically 15-30 degrees).

These wheels are typically sold individually, but a standard factory carton usually contains 25 wheels.

No, this is a bonded abrasive grinding wheel and does not require a backing pad. It mounts directly to the grinder using the appropriate flanges.
