OVERVIEW

High-Performance Ceramic Grinding for Industrial Applications

The Walter Xcavator XX™ Grinding Wheel (08X450) is engineered to define the cutting edge of abrasive technology. Designed for the most demanding industrial environments, this 4-1/2 inch wheel features a proprietary ceramic grain blend that delivers an ultra-fast removal rate on the toughest metals. The "XX" designation indicates extreme performance, making it the optimal choice for heavy-duty stock removal, weld leveling, and beveling operations where cycle time and throughput are critical metrics.

Advanced Ceramic Grain Technology

Unlike standard aluminum oxide wheels, the Xcavator XX utilizes self-sharpening ceramic grains. As the wheel grinds, these grains micro-fracture to reveal fresh, sharp cutting edges, preventing the glazing and dulling often associated with heavy pressure grinding. This ensures a consistent Cut Rate (MRR) throughout the entire life of the wheel, maximizing productivity and reducing the frequency of wheel changes.

Metallurgical Safety and Compatibility

For industries requiring strict contamination controls, such as nuclear, food processing, or pharmaceutical equipment fabrication, the Xcavator XX is manufactured with a Fe-Free formulation. It is guaranteed to contain less than 0.1% iron, sulfur, or chlorine, ensuring it will not contaminate stainless steel or induce corrosion. While specialized for stainless safety, its aggressive bond is equally effective on carbon steel, hard alloys, and cast iron.

Technical Specifications

This Type 27 depressed center wheel measures 4-1/2" in diameter with a 1/4" thickness and a standard 7/8" arbor, making it compatible with most industrial angle grinders. The A24Hps specification denotes a coarse grit structure reinforced for high-pressure applications. Manufactured in Austria to rigorous quality standards, the Xcavator XX balances aggression with operator comfort, reducing vibration to minimize fatigue during extended use.

FAQ

It is designed for steel, stainless steel, and hard metals.

Yes, it features a Fe-Free formulation guaranteed not to contaminate stainless steel.

The specification is A24Hps, which corresponds to a coarse 24 grit for heavy removal.

These are sold in packs of 10.

The arbor size is 7/8 inch, standard for 4-1/2 inch grinders.

No, this is a Type 27 depressed center wheel that mounts directly to the grinder using the standard flange nut.

The XX denotes Walter's highest removal rate formulation using a specific ceramic grain blend.

Yes, as long as your grinder is a 4-1/2" model with a 5/8"-11 spindle (which takes 7/8" arbor wheels), it will fit perfectly.
