OVERVIEW

The Welder's Choice for Aggressive Metal Removal

When you are staring down a heavy weld seam or prepping a thick plate for joining, you need a grinding wheel that bites. The Walter Xcavator 9" Grinding Wheel is built for welders who demand performance and speed. This Type 27 depressed center wheel is specifically formulated to chew through the toughest materials found in the welding shop, from mild steel to hardened alloys. Whether you are beveling thick pipe, removing heavy slag, or shaping cast iron, the Xcavator provides a consistent, aggressive cut that doesn't back down under pressure.

One of the biggest frustrations in welding preparation is wheel chatter and the resulting hand fatigue. Walter has addressed this with their innovative Comfort Max Technology. By dampening the vibration at the hub, this wheel runs smoother on your 9-inch angle grinder, giving you better control over the tool. This means you can grind flatter, straighter, and faster without fighting the machine. For welders working on stainless steel projects, the Xcavator is manufactured with an Fe-Free formulation. This ensures that you won't introduce iron contaminants into your stainless base metal, preserving corrosion resistance and ensuring your welds pass inspection.

The 08P900 is not just a standard grinding disc; it is a solution for hard-to-grind metals. If you work with tungsten, hard facing, or tempered steels, you know how quickly regular wheels stop cutting. The Xcavator maintains its self-sharpening properties even on these hard surfaces, ensuring you get the full life out of the wheel. Upgrade your abrasive arsenal with a wheel that works as hard as you do and experience the difference in removal rate and comfort.

FAQ

Comfort Max Technology is a proprietary design feature by Walter Surface Technologies integrated into the wheel's hub. It absorbs and reduces vibration during operation, providing a smoother feel and reducing operator fatigue.

Yes, the Xcavator is manufactured with an Fe-Free formulation, meaning it is free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, making it safe for use on stainless steel without causing contamination.

This wheel is designed for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, hard metals, tungsten carbide, and quenched or tempered steels.

The 08P900 fits 9-inch angle grinders that have a standard 7/8-inch arbor.

The Xcavator offers the highest removal rate in its class while simultaneously reducing vibration, allowing for faster work with less physical strain.

No, this is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel designed for grinding, beveling, and shaping. It should not be used for cutting operations (use a Type 1 or Type 27 cutting wheel for that).

The Xcavator is specifically engineered to resist glazing, even on tough metals like tungsten and tempered steel, ensuring it keeps cutting throughout its life.
