OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Grinding with Walter HP Type 28 Wheels

For welders who demand more from their abrasives, the Walter HP 7" x 1/4" Type 28 Grinding Wheel (08B701) is a game-changer. This isn't just another grinding disc; it is a versatile tool designed to handle the toughest challenges in the welding shop. The Type 28 shape, often referred to as a saucer wheel, features a built-in angle that naturally aligns your grinder for optimal surface contact. This means you can grind flat surfaces more evenly and reach into tight corners without gouging the workpiece, resulting in a smoother finish and less rework.

The 08B701 is built for speed and endurance. Its A-24 grit composition bites hard into steel and stainless steel, ripping away material quickly without glazing over or overheating the metal. This is particularly important when working with stainless steel, where heat buildup can compromise corrosion resistance. The 1/4-inch thickness gives you the confidence to lean into the work for heavy stock removal, while the reinforced structure allows you to use the edge for cutting and notching. This versatility means you can cut a tack weld, grind the joint, and bevel the edge all with the same wheel.

Durability and control are enhanced by the metal hub cladding, which provides extra strength at the mounting point. This feature minimizes wheel vibration, giving you greater control over the grinder and reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. With a maximum rating of 8,600 RPM, this wheel is compatible with standard 7-inch angle grinders. When you need a wheel that works as hard as you do, choose the Walter HP Type 28 for superior life, safety, and performance on every job.

FAQ

A Type 27 wheel has a flat profile with a depressed center, typically used at a 30-degree angle. A Type 28 wheel has a saucer or cone shape, which allows for a flatter grinding angle (15-30 degrees), providing better coverage on flat surfaces and improved access to corners.

Yes, the Walter HP 08B701 is formulated for use on both mild steel and stainless steel (INOX), ensuring fast removal without contaminating the stainless surface.

Yes, despite being 1/4 inch thick, the Walter HP Type 28 is reinforced and designed to be versatile enough for cutting, grooving, and notching, as well as grinding.

The maximum safe operating speed for the Walter 08B701 is 8,600 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's RPM does not exceed this rating.

The metal hub cladding provides extra strength at the center of the wheel, increasing safety and stability while reducing vibration during operation.

This wheel has a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole, making it compatible with most 7-inch angle grinders.
