OVERVIEW

Maximize Grinding Efficiency with Walter HP Type 28 Wheels

In the demanding world of industrial metal fabrication, time is money, and the tools you use directly impact your bottom line. The Walter HP Type 28 Grinding Wheel (SKU: 08B906) is engineered to deliver superior performance for professionals who refuse to compromise on speed or safety. This 9-inch abrasive wheel features Walter's renowned High Performance (HP) formulation, specifically designed to tackle tough steel applications with ease. Whether you are working in a shipyard, a structural steel plant, or a heavy equipment repair facility, this wheel provides the aggressive bite needed to remove material quickly while maintaining a long service life.

What sets this wheel apart is its Type 28 saucer shape. Unlike standard flat or depressed center wheels, the saucer profile allows for a unique angle of approach to the workpiece. This geometry is particularly effective for smoothing out large surfaces and accessing difficult contours where a standard wheel might gouge or skip. The 1/4-inch thickness provides the rigidity required for heavy stock removal, making it an ideal choice for grinding down heavy welds, shaping metal parts, and deburring rough cut edges. The integrated 5/8"-11 threaded arbor ensures a secure, vibration-free connection to your angle grinder, reducing setup time and enhancing operator safety.

Operator comfort is a critical factor in productivity. Walter has designed the HP series to run smoothly, minimizing the vibrations that lead to hand-arm fatigue. This means your team can work longer and more precisely, resulting in better finishes and higher throughput. When you choose the Walter 08B906, you are investing in a consumable that balances aggressive material removal with the control necessary for high-quality craftsmanship. It is the ultimate solution for heavy-duty grinding tasks where efficiency and durability are paramount.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Aggressive Removal: Formulated to grind steel rapidly, reducing cycle times on heavy fabrication projects.
  • Ergonomic Design: The saucer shape and smooth balance reduce operator fatigue during extended use.
  • Durability: High-density grain structure ensures the wheel lasts longer, reducing changeovers and downtime.

FAQ

Type 27 wheels have a flat depressed center, while Type 28 wheels have a saucer shape. The Type 28 saucer shape allows for a flatter grinding angle (usually 15-30 degrees) and greater surface contact, which can be more comfortable for smoothing large areas.

This wheel is specifically formulated for use on steel. While it can physically grind other metals, it is optimized for the hardness and properties of carbon steel to ensure the best life and removal rate.

No, this is a bonded abrasive grinding wheel, not a fiber disc. It does not require a backing pad. However, ensure your grinder has the appropriate guard installed for a 9-inch Type 28 wheel.

This wheel features a 5/8"-11 threaded arbor (hub). It is designed to spin directly onto the spindle of compatible 9-inch angle grinders.

Always check the label on the wheel itself, but generally, 9-inch grinding wheels like the Walter 08B906 are rated for a maximum speed of around 6,600 RPM. Never exceed the rated RPM.

No, this is a Type 28 grinding wheel with a 1/4-inch thickness. It is designed for grinding, shaping, and deburring. Do not use it for cutting (cutoff) applications; use a Type 1 or Type 27 cutoff wheel for that purpose.

The saucer shape allows the operator to apply pressure more evenly across a wider area, which helps in blending welds flush with the base metal without digging in or gouging.

Packaging quantities can vary, but industrial grinding wheels of this size are often sold individually or in boxes of 25. Please check the specific listing quantity before ordering.
