OVERVIEW

Superior Weld Prep and Finishing with Walter HP Type 28

For professional welders, the quality of the prep work often determines the quality of the final weld. The Walter HP Type 28 Grinding Wheel (08B906) is a powerhouse abrasive built to handle the most rigorous grinding tasks in the shop. Measuring 9 inches in diameter with a robust 1/4-inch thickness, this wheel is designed to eat through steel, making it perfect for beveling plates, removing heavy slag, and grinding down excess weld metal. The "HP" designation stands for High Performance, and this wheel lives up to the name by delivering a consistent, aggressive cut from the first spark to the last.

The distinctive Type 28 saucer shape is a game-changer for many welders. This profile allows you to hold the grinder at a more comfortable, flatter angle relative to the work surface compared to a Type 27 wheel. This results in greater surface contact and a smoother finish without the risk of gouging the base metal. It is especially useful when blending welds on flat surfaces or when you need to cover a large area quickly. The 5/8"-11 threaded hub makes mounting the wheel fast and simple—just spin it on and you are ready to grind, with no need for separate locking nuts or wrenches that can get lost in a busy shop.

Safety and control are built into every Walter abrasive. The 08B906 is manufactured to strict standards to ensure it runs true, reducing the wobble and vibration that can make heavy grinding a chore. Whether you are prepping a joint for a critical structural weld or cleaning up a repair on heavy machinery, this wheel gives you the control you need. It doesn't just grind; it shapes and sculpts steel, giving you the confidence that your workpiece is perfectly prepared. Upgrade your grinding game with a wheel that works as hard as you do.

FAQ

Type 27 wheels have a flat depressed center, while Type 28 wheels have a saucer shape. The Type 28 saucer shape allows for a flatter grinding angle (usually 15-30 degrees) and greater surface contact, which can be more comfortable for smoothing large areas.

This wheel is specifically formulated for use on steel. While it can physically grind other metals, it is optimized for the hardness and properties of carbon steel to ensure the best life and removal rate.

No, this is a bonded abrasive grinding wheel, not a fiber disc. It does not require a backing pad. However, ensure your grinder has the appropriate guard installed for a 9-inch Type 28 wheel.

This wheel features a 5/8"-11 threaded arbor (hub). It is designed to spin directly onto the spindle of compatible 9-inch angle grinders.

Always check the label on the wheel itself, but generally, 9-inch grinding wheels like the Walter 08B906 are rated for a maximum speed of around 6,600 RPM. Never exceed the rated RPM.

No, this is a Type 28 grinding wheel with a 1/4-inch thickness. It is designed for grinding, shaping, and deburring. Do not use it for cutting (cutoff) applications; use a Type 1 or Type 27 cutoff wheel for that purpose.

The saucer shape allows the operator to apply pressure more evenly across a wider area, which helps in blending welds flush with the base metal without digging in or gouging.

Packaging quantities can vary, but industrial grinding wheels of this size are often sold individually or in boxes of 25. Please check the specific listing quantity before ordering.
