OVERVIEW

Tough Wheels for Tough Jobs

When you are under the hood and the sparks are flying, you need a grinding wheel that doesn't quit before you do. The Walter 08C700 Allsteel Xtra is built for welders who demand performance and reliability. We all know the frustration of a cheap wheel that chatters, bounces, or wears down to the nub after just a few feet of weld. Walter has solved that problem with the Allsteel Xtra. This 7-inch wheel is designed to eat through metal, whether you are grinding down a heavy structural weld on mild steel or cleaning up a stainless steel joint.

The "Xtra" in the name stands for extra performance. This wheel bites into the metal hard, removing stock quickly so you can move on to the next part of the job. It is 1/4-inch thick, giving you the beefiness you need to lean into the grinder without worrying about the wheel flexing or shattering. It is perfect for those heavy-duty tasks like beveling plate before welding or smoothing out a rough cap pass. Because it is formulated for both steel and stainless, you don't have to waste time swapping out wheels when you switch materials. One wheel does it all, and it does it well.

Comfort is another big factor when you are grinding all day. A wheel that is out of balance will shake your arms until they are numb. Walter wheels are known for running true and smooth. This means less fighting with the grinder and less fatigue at the end of the shift. The bonding technology also helps keep the wheel cutting cool, which reduces heat buildup in your base metal—a huge plus when working with stainless where heat tint can be a pain to clean up.

Don't settle for hardware store wheels that disappear in minutes. Upgrade to the Walter Allsteel Xtra 08C700. It’s the kind of tool that earns its keep in your gang box. You get faster grinding, fewer wheel changes, and a safer day on the job. Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, this is the 7-inch rock you want on your grinder.
