08K906 - Walter Allsteel XX 9-Inch Type 28 Grinding Wheel with 5/8-11 Hub

Premium Heavy-Duty Grinding Performance

The Walter 08K906 Allsteel XX Type 28 Grinding Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for industrial steel fabrication. Designed for the most demanding environments, this 9-inch wheel utilizes advanced ceramic grain formulations that deliver an aggressive bite and sustained removal rates throughout the life of the wheel. For procurement managers and shop foremen, the Allsteel XX translates directly to lower total production costs. By significantly reducing the time required to remove material and extending the interval between wheel changes, this product optimizes workforce efficiency and reduces consumable waste.

Type 28 Saucer Geometry

Unlike standard Type 27 wheels, the Type 28 "saucer" shape features a built-in angle that allows operators to grind at a flatter pitch (typically 15 to 30 degrees) while maintaining a larger contact patch. This geometry is particularly advantageous for smoothing large welds, leveling surfaces, and working on structural steel components where finish consistency and speed are paramount. The integrated 5/8-11 threaded hub further enhances productivity by eliminating the need for locking nuts and flange keys, allowing for tool-free wheel changes in seconds.

Safety and Durability

Walter Surface Technologies is renowned for its commitment to safety. The 08K906 is heavily reinforced to withstand the high torque and lateral forces associated with 9-inch angle grinders. The bonding matrix is engineered to resist glazing, ensuring that fresh abrasive grains are constantly exposed. This self-sharpening action prevents the wheel from overheating the workpiece, reducing the risk of heat discoloration or metallurgical changes in the base material. Ideal for shipyards, heavy equipment manufacturing, and structural steel plants, this wheel is the reliable choice for high-volume material removal.
