OVERVIEW

Grind Aluminum Without the Headache

If you have ever tried to grind aluminum with a standard rock wheel, you know the struggle. Within seconds, the wheel gets gummed up with silver sludge, stops cutting, and starts generating excessive heat. You end up fighting the grinder rather than doing the work. The Walter ALU™ 6-inch grinding wheel (08L600) is the solution to that frustration. It is built specifically to eat through aluminum and non-ferrous metals without clogging up.

Ready to Weld Immediately
One of the biggest hassles with aluminum fabrication is prep work. Many "aluminum-specific" wheels use waxes or lubricants to keep the wheel cool, but that residue gets embedded in your workpiece. If you weld over it, you get porosity and failed welds. The Walter ALU™ wheel is completely free of waxes and lubricants. It cuts clean and leaves a surface that is ready for the torch immediately—no wiping down with acetone or wire brushing required.

Built for Performance
This wheel doesn't just resist clogging; it removes material fast. Whether you are beveling plate for a butt weld, grinding down a heavy bead, or deburring cut edges, the 08L600 keeps cutting aggressively until the wheel is worn down. It fits your standard 6-inch grinder and is tough enough to handle the daily abuse of a fab shop. Stop wasting time changing clogged wheels and start getting the job done faster.

FAQ

Standard wheels will clog (load up) with soft aluminum almost immediately. The Walter ALU wheel is formulated to resist clogging, allowing it to cut aluminum continuously.

No, the Walter ALU wheel is free of waxes and lubricants. This prevents surface contamination that could cause weld porosity.

Generally, no. Because the wheel contains no waxes, it leaves a clean surface that is typically ready for welding immediately.

This wheel has a 7/8" arbor hole, which is the standard mount for 6-inch angle grinders.

While it can physically grind steel, it is formulated for soft metals. Using it on steel will result in very rapid wheel wear. It is best reserved for aluminum and non-ferrous metals.

The maximum safe operating speed is 10,200 RPM.

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

This is an A-24 grit wheel, designed for coarse grinding and heavy stock removal.
