08K901 - Walter HP XX 9-Inch Type 28 Grinding Wheel for Steel

Unmatched Performance with Walter HP XX Technology

The Walter 08K901 HP XX™ Type 28 Grinding Wheel represents the pinnacle of grinding performance for industrial steel applications. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, the HP XX line is engineered to revolutionize the way professionals approach heavy-duty stock removal. By harnessing cutting-edge abrasive grain technology and a proprietary bonding matrix, this wheel delivers an aggressive bite that significantly reduces the time required to remove material. Whether you are smoothing out heavy welds, beveling thick plates, or shaping structural steel, the HP XX ensures that you achieve your goals with maximum efficiency and minimal effort.

The Type 28 Advantage

Unlike standard Type 27 depressed center wheels, which are flat, the Type 28 "saucer" shape of this 9-inch wheel offers distinct advantages for specific grinding scenarios. The saucer profile allows for a more aggressive angle of attack and provides better access to tight corners, fillets, and contours. This makes the 08K901 particularly effective for grinding inside curves or preparing complex weld joints where a flat wheel might gouge the surface or fail to reach the root. The geometry of the Type 28 wheel also enhances operator comfort by allowing for a more natural grinding position on curved surfaces.

Cost-Effective Longevity

In high-volume fabrication environments, the total cost of grinding is not just the price of the wheel, but the cost of labor and downtime associated with frequent wheel changes. The Walter HP XX is built to last. Its high-density structure resists wear even under heavy pressure, providing an unprecedented lifespan compared to conventional abrasives. This extended life translates directly to cost savings, as operators spend more time grinding and less time walking to the tool crib for replacements. When you choose the HP XX, you are investing in a consumable that respects your bottom line.

Safety and Application

Safety is paramount when operating 9-inch angle grinders. The Walter 08K901 is manufactured to the highest safety standards, ensuring structural integrity even at high rotational speeds. This wheel is specifically formulated for use on steel and is not recommended for aluminum or non-ferrous metals to prevent loading. Always ensure your grinder is equipped with the proper guard for a 9-inch Type 28 wheel and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including face shields and gloves, to protect against sparks and debris.
