Walter 8-Inch Bench Grinder Wheel, 24 Grit Coarse, with Bushings

Heavy-Duty Grinding for the Professional Shop

Every welding and fabrication shop needs a reliable bench grinder for prepping stock, sharpening tools, and cleaning up rough cuts. The Walter 8-Inch Bench Grinding Wheel (SKU: 12E553) is built to handle the daily abuse of a busy workshop. With an aggressive 24 grit rating, this wheel is your go-to solution for "hogging" off metal when you need to reshape a part quickly or remove heavy burrs from a fresh cut. It cuts cool and fast, saving you time at the grinder so you can get back to welding.

Frustration with wheel fitment is a thing of the past with this Walter wheel. We know that shop grinders come in all shapes and sizes, often with different shaft diameters depending on the brand and age of the machine. That's why this wheel includes a set of nested reducer bushings right in the box. Whether your pedestal grinder has a heavy-duty 1-1/4" shaft or your benchtop unit uses a standard 1/2" or 5/8" arbor, this wheel fits perfectly. It centers accurately to prevent the wobble that ruins tools and shakes your workbench.

This wheel isn't just for mild steel; it is also rated for carbide, making it a versatile addition to your abrasive inventory. Use it to rough out tungsten (before finishing on a finer wheel), reshape lathe tools, or grind down bolts and brackets. Walter Surface Technologies is known for producing abrasives that last, meaning you won't be changing this wheel out constantly. It offers excellent edge retention and resists loading, keeping the abrasive grains exposed and cutting efficiently throughout the life of the wheel.

Why Welders Choose This Wheel:

• Fast Shaping: Coarse grit makes quick work of reshaping metal parts.
• Easy Installation: Bushings are included, so you don't have to hunt for parts.
• Shop Versatility: Works on the variety of metals found in fabrication environments.
