OVERVIEW

Grind Welds Faster and Smoother

When you are tackling heavy welds on structural steel, you need a wheel that bites hard and lasts long. The Walter HP Type 28 Spin-On Grinding Wheel is built for welders who demand performance without the hassle. This 5-inch wheel features Walter's legendary HP formulation, which is tuned to rip through steel scale and heavy weld beads without bogging down your grinder. Whether you are prepping a joint or smoothing out a cap pass, this wheel gives you the aggressive removal you need to get the job done quickly.

The unique Type 28 saucer shape is a game-changer for comfort and control. Because the wheel is slightly conical, you don't have to hold your grinder at a steep angle. You can work flatter to the surface, which feels more natural and helps you avoid gouging the base metal. This shape is perfect for contouring and blending, giving you a smoother finish with less effort. Plus, the 1/4-inch thickness provides the durability needed for heavy edge grinding and deburring tasks.

Forget about hunting for your pin wrench every time you need to swap a disc. This wheel comes with Walter's Spin-On system—a built-in 5/8"-11 threaded hub. You just spin the old wheel off and spin the new one on by hand. It tightens itself as you work, ensuring a secure fit every time. The integrated hub also balances the wheel perfectly, cutting down on the vibration that leaves your hands tingling at the end of the day. Upgrade your grinding game with a wheel that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

Type 27 wheels are flat with a depressed center, typically used at a 30-degree angle. Type 28 wheels are saucer-shaped (conical), allowing for a flatter grinding angle (15-30 degrees), which provides greater surface contact and better control for smoothing.

No, this wheel features a Spin-On 5/8"-11 integrated hub. It screws directly onto the spindle of standard 4-1/2" or 5" angle grinders, eliminating the need for separate flanges or tools.

While it can grind stainless, the HP formulation is optimized for mild steel. For stainless steel, Walter recommends their HP XX or Allsteel lines to prevent contamination and ensure optimal performance.

Always check the label on the wheel itself, but standard 5-inch reinforced grinding wheels are typically rated for a maximum of 12,250 RPM.

No, this is a 1/4-inch thick Type 28 grinding wheel. It is designed for surface grinding and stock removal, not for cutting (cutoff). Using it for cutting can be dangerous.

The Spin-On system reduces wheel changeover time, ensures perfect centering to minimize vibration, and eliminates the need for pin wrenches that can be lost or damaged.

The 08B501 is designed primarily for steel. It excels at heavy stock removal, weld grinding, and deburring on carbon steel components.

Choose Type 28 if you need to cover more surface area or want a smoother finish when blending welds. The saucer shape allows you to hold the grinder flatter, which is often more comfortable for contour work.
