OVERVIEW

Stop Clogging and Start Welding Faster

Grinding aluminum doesn't have to be a frustrating experience. If you are tired of your grinding wheels gumming up, glazing over, and heating up your workpiece, the Walter ALU™ 7-inch Grinding Wheel is the solution you need. Designed specifically for soft, gummy metals, this wheel keeps cutting aggressively where others fail. Its unique composition prevents the aluminum from sticking to the abrasive grains, meaning you spend more time grinding and less time changing wheels or trying to dress them back to life.

For professional welders, the biggest advantage of the Walter ALU™ wheel is what isn't in it. Many aluminum wheels use waxes or lubricants to stop clogging, but that leaves a film on your metal that ruins welds. This wheel is 100% wax-free and lubricant-free. You can grind your joint, bevel your plate, and strike an arc immediately without wiping down the part with acetone or thinners. This prevents the dreaded "pepper" porosity in your TIG or MIG welds caused by surface contaminants.

Built tough for the shop environment, this Type 27 wheel is perfect for heavy material removal on aluminum trailers, truck bodies, and boat hulls. It fits standard 7-inch angle grinders and offers a long service life even under heavy pressure. Upgrade your aluminum prep process with a wheel that respects your time and your weld quality.

FAQ

Standard wheels often clog (load) when grinding soft metals like aluminum. The Walter ALU wheel is formulated to resist loading, maintaining a sharp cut without gumming up.

No. Because the wheel is free of waxes and lubricants, it leaves no residue that causes weld porosity, allowing you to weld immediately after grinding.

This wheel has a standard 7/8" arbor, fitting most 7-inch angle grinders.

While it can physically grind steel, it is optimized for soft metals. Using it on steel may result in faster wear compared to wheels designed specifically for ferrous metals.

The wheel is 1/4 inch thick, suitable for heavy grinding and stock removal.

Yes, this is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel.

It is designed to be contaminant-free for aluminum welding, specifically avoiding waxes and lubricants that cause porosity.
