Walter 5-Inch Silicon Carbide Grinding and Cutting Wheel for Concrete and Masonry

Tough Wheels for Stone, Concrete, and Cast Iron

When your fabrication or repair job takes you beyond steel and into the realm of masonry or cast iron, you need a wheel that can handle the unique challenges of these materials. The Walter 08D502 is a 5-inch Silicon Carbide wheel built to tackle the hardest non-ferrous jobs. Unlike aluminum oxide wheels that can dull quickly on stone, the sharp C-24 silicon carbide grain fractures to self-sharpen, ensuring you maintain a high cut rate throughout the life of the wheel.

This wheel is a "combo" style solution, measuring 1/8-inch thick. This specific thickness gives you the best of both worlds: it is thin enough to slice through masonry and stone with minimal resistance, yet thick and reinforced enough to handle side-loading for light grinding and deburring. This is particularly useful for welders and fabricators working with cast iron repairs, where cleaning up the casting prior to welding is critical.

Walter Surface Technologies is known for producing abrasives that prioritize operator safety and comfort. The 08D502 is heavily reinforced to withstand the stresses of centrifugal force and lateral pressure, giving you peace of mind during aggressive use. Fit this wheel onto your standard 5-inch angle grinder and experience a smoother, faster grind on concrete, brick, and stone materials.
