08B701 - Walter HP 7-Inch Type 28 Grinding and Cutting Wheel

Walter HP High Performance Type 28 Grinding Wheel

The Walter HP (High Performance) series represents a benchmark in industrial grinding, designed to meet the rigorous demands of metal fabrication and maintenance professionals. The 08B701 is a 7-inch Type 28 grinding wheel that combines versatility, safety, and durability into a single abrasive solution. Unlike standard flat wheels, the Type 28 "saucer" shape is engineered to provide a more comfortable grinding angle (typically 15 to 30 degrees), allowing operators to cover larger surface areas with less fatigue while also gaining better access to corners and fillets.

Constructed with a specialized aluminum oxide grain blend (Grit A-24), this wheel is formulated to deliver aggressive material removal rates on both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX). The 1/4-inch thickness ensures the structural integrity required for heavy-duty applications such as weld removal, beveling, and edge preparation. What sets the Walter HP line apart is its ability to multitask; it is reinforced to withstand the lateral stresses of off-hand cutting and grooving, making it a true "all-in-one" wheel for complex fabrication jobs. This reduces the need for frequent wheel changes, thereby increasing shop productivity.

Safety is paramount in the design of the 08B701. It features Walter's patented integrated center reinforcement and exclusive metal hub cladding. This design not only locks the wheel securely to the grinder to prevent vibration but also provides extreme toughness against breakage. Whether you are smoothing out a heavy weld seam or notching a piece of structural steel, the Walter HP Type 28 wheel delivers consistent performance, long service life, and the peace of mind that comes with using premium industrial abrasives.
