Walter 8-Inch Bench Grinder Wheel 60 Grit with Bushings

Upgrade Your Bench Grinder with Walter Abrasives

Maximize the potential of your workshop's bench or pedestal grinder with the Walter 12E557 8-Inch Grinding Wheel. Designed for professionals who demand reliability, this wheel features a substantial 1-1/4 inch thickness and a 60-grit abrasive profile, making it an excellent all-around choice for shaping, sharpening, and smoothing operations. Unlike generic wheels that may vibrate or wear unevenly, Walter's manufacturing process ensures a balanced wheel that runs smooth and true from the first spin.

Versatile Application Range

This wheel is particularly effective for maintenance and repair operations (MRO). The 60-grit texture is fine enough to put a keen edge on chisels, drill bits, and scraper blades, yet aggressive enough to remove burrs from cut pipe or stock quickly. It is compatible with a range of materials, including carbide and steel, providing a versatile station for all your metalworking needs. The wider 1-1/4 inch face provides ample surface area for grinding larger tools or smoothing out longer edges effectively.

Hassle-Free Installation

Forget about hunting for adapters. The Walter 12E557 comes complete with a set of telescopic reducer bushings. These bushings snap securely into the wheel's center, allowing you to adapt the 1-inch bore down to 3/4", 5/8", or 1/2" to match your specific machine's spindle. This feature makes it an essential stock item for tool cribs, as a single SKU can service multiple different grinders within a facility.

Long-Lasting Durability

Walter Surface Technologies is synonymous with longevity. This bench grinding wheel is built to withstand the rigors of daily shop use without premature crumbling or glazing. To maintain peak performance, we recommend periodically dressing the wheel to expose new grain and maintain a flat face. Invest in a wheel that works as hard as you do and experience the difference in cutting speed and finish quality.
