08L907 - Walter ALU 9-inch Aluminum Grinding and Cutting Wheel with Hub

High-Performance Aluminum Grinding & Cutting

The Walter 08L907 ALU™ wheel is a specialized abrasive solution engineered specifically for the unique demands of working with aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. In industrial environments, standard grinding wheels often fail when applied to soft metals because the material melts and clogs the abrasive grain—a phenomenon known as "loading." This loading reduces cutting efficiency, increases heat generation, and can compromise the integrity of the workpiece. The Walter ALU™ line addresses this critical issue with a proprietary formulation that resists clogging without the use of lubricating waxes or rubber fillers.

Measuring 9 inches in diameter with a 1/8-inch thickness, this wheel strikes a balance between a dedicated cutting wheel and a grinding disc. The 1/8-inch profile is robust enough to handle intermittent light grinding and deburring tasks, yet thin enough to provide a fast, clean cut when sizing material. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for fabrication shops where operators need to switch between cutting and light surface preparation without changing tools. The integrated 5/8-11 threaded hub ensures a secure, vibration-free connection to the angle grinder and significantly reduces downtime during wheel changes.

For MRO and fabrication professionals, the 08L907 offers superior longevity and consistent performance. By maintaining a free-cutting action, it reduces operator fatigue and ensures that the abrasive grains are always exposed and working. This wheel is strictly recommended for aluminum and non-ferrous applications to maximize its lifespan and effectiveness.
