The Walter Pipefitter™ Grinding Wheel (08N709) is a premium abrasive tool engineered specifically to meet the rigorous demands of the pipeline industry. Measuring 7 inches in diameter with a 5/32-inch thickness and a standard 5/8-inch arbor, this wheel is designed to fit most professional angle grinders used in field operations. Its primary function is to provide safe, efficient, and aggressive material removal during the construction and fabrication of pipelines.
Pipeline work requires abrasives that can withstand harsh conditions and heavy pressure. The Pipefitter™ wheel features extra reinforcement to ensure safety when grinding joint welds, facing pipe ends, or performing deep notching tasks. The A-20 grit formulation is coarse enough to remove metal rapidly, reducing downtime between passes. This is critical in pipeline spreads where speed and reliability directly impact project timelines.
One of the standout features of the 08N709 is its chemical purity. It is manufactured to be free of Iron (Fe), Sulfur (S), and Chlorine (Cl). This "contaminant-free" status makes it safe for use on stainless steel and other high-grade alloys, preventing cross-contamination that could lead to rust, corrosion, or weld failure later in the pipe's lifecycle. Whether you are working on carbon steel transmission lines or stainless process piping, this wheel delivers consistent results without compromising material integrity.
This wheel excels in specific pipefitting tasks such as cleaning weld beads, intermittent light grinding, and preparing bevels for subsequent weld passes. Its thickness of 5/32" strikes a balance between a cutting wheel and a full 1/4" grinding wheel, allowing for precise control when opening up roots or cleaning out slag inclusions. Professional pipefitters trust the Walter Pipefitter™ series for its longevity and its ability to hold up under the heat and stress of continuous grinding.
