Walter Pipefitter 4.5-Inch Grinding Wheel A-36

The Pipeliner's Choice for Root Passes

When you are out on the rig or in the fab shop, you need a wheel that understands the geometry of a pipe joint. The Walter Pipefitter 4-1/2" x 5/32" Wheel is that wheel. Standard 1/4-inch grinding wheels can be too bulky to get deep into a V-groove without widening it too much, and cutting wheels are too thin to safely grind out a tack or a wagon track. The Pipefitter's 5/32-inch thickness is the perfect sweet spot, giving you the precision to clean a root pass effectively while still having enough meat on the bone for facing and bevelling.

Built for the Grind

Walter Surface Technologies knows that pipeline welding is tough work. That is why the 08N454 is reinforced to handle the abuse of notching and side-grinding that would shatter lesser wheels. The A-36 grain structure digs in hard to remove metal fast, so you can get back to welding. It doesn't glaze over when you lean into it, ensuring you get full life out of every disc. Plus, it's guaranteed not to contaminate your stainless welds, keeping the inspectors happy and your repair rate low.

Versatility on the Job Site

Why carry a bucket full of different wheels when one can handle multiple steps? Use the Pipefitter for:

• Root Pass Cleaning: Get into the groove and clean out slag without destroying the bevel.
• Notching: Safely grind out tacks or defects.
• Facing: Prep your lands for the perfect fit-up.
• Bevelling: Put a clean edge on cut pipe.

Equip your grinder with the wheel designed by people who understand pipe. The Walter Pipefitter is ready to work as hard as you do.
