08W702 - Walter Allsteel 7-Inch Grinding and Notching Wheel

High-Performance Grinding for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter 08W702 Allsteel™ Grinding Wheel is a premier abrasive solution engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern metal fabrication shops and industrial maintenance environments. Designed with a high-strength abrasive grain matrix, this 7-inch wheel delivers exceptional material removal rates while maintaining a long service life. It is specifically formulated to be a versatile "go-to" wheel, performing equally well on mild steel and stainless steel, which helps streamline inventory for facilities that work with multiple material types.

Efficiency in the workshop is driven by tool performance. The Allsteel™ series stands out by reducing the time required for heavy stock removal, allowing operators to complete tasks faster. The 1/8-inch thickness of this specific model (08W702) places it in a sweet spot between a standard 1/4-inch grinding wheel and a cutting disc. This makes it particularly effective for applications requiring precision and speed, such as light grinding, root pass cleaning, and notching. The wheel's composition is tuned to resist loading, ensuring consistent cutting action throughout the life of the disc.

Safety is a paramount concern in any industrial setting, and Walter Surface Technologies has integrated heavy reinforcement into the design of the Allsteel™ wheel. This structural integrity ensures that the wheel can withstand the stresses of aggressive grinding and lateral pressure without compromising operator safety. Furthermore, the wheel is designed to run smoothly with minimal vibration, reducing operator fatigue during extended shifts. By minimizing work-surface gouging, it also reduces the need for secondary rework, ultimately lowering the total cost of operation for your business.

Key Industrial Benefits

• Versatility: One wheel for both steel and stainless steel reduces SKU management.
• Productivity: Aggressive grain structure removes metal faster than standard aluminum oxide wheels.
• Cost-Efficiency: Long lifespan means fewer wheel changes and less downtime.
• Safety: Heavily reinforced bonding system meets strict safety standards.
