08P500 - Walter Xcavator 5-Inch Grinding Wheel Type 27 ZA-16-P

Walter Xcavator: High-Performance Grinding with Comfort Max Technology

The Walter Xcavator 5-inch Grinding Wheel (08P500) represents a significant leap forward in abrasive technology, specifically designed to tackle the most demanding industrial grinding applications. Engineered for professionals who require aggressive material removal without compromising on safety or comfort, this Type 27 depressed center wheel integrates Walter’s exclusive Comfort Max™ Technology. This innovative hub design actively dampens vibration at the source, providing a smoother, more controlled grinding experience. By reducing the transmission of vibration to the operator's hands and arms, the Xcavator helps minimize fatigue and the risk of long-term occupational health issues, allowing for longer, more productive work shifts.

At the core of the Xcavator's performance is its ultra-aggressive Zirconia Alumina (ZA) grain combined with a specialized hard bond (P-grade). This composition delivers the industry's highest removal rates on standard steel and stainless steel, while also possessing the durability to grind extremely hard materials such as tungsten carbide, quenched steel, and tempered alloys. The coarse 16-grit structure ensures that material is removed rapidly, significantly reducing cycle times for heavy weld removal, bevelling, and shaping tasks.

Durability is paramount in heavy industrial environments, and the Xcavator is built to last. Its reinforced construction prevents premature edge wear, ensuring consistent performance throughout the life of the wheel. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, a foundry, or on a pipeline, the Walter Xcavator 08P500 offers a superior balance of speed, life, and operator comfort.

Key Applications

• Heavy Weld Removal: Rapidly grinds down heavy welds on structural steel and stainless plate.
• Hard Metal Grinding: Effective on tungsten carbide, cast iron, and hard facing alloys.
• Bevelling and Shaping: Ideal for preparing thick metal plates for welding.
