OVERVIEW

High-Performance Abrasives for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter Allsteel Xtra Grinding Wheel (SKU: 08C600) represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for heavy-duty industrial applications. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern metal fabrication shops, this 6-inch wheel is engineered to deliver exceptional material removal rates while maintaining a long service life. In high-throughput environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, the Allsteel Xtra stands out by reducing the frequency of wheel changes, thereby optimizing operational efficiency.

At the core of this wheel's performance is Walter's proprietary grain blend and state-of-the-art bonding system. This advanced formulation allows the wheel to attack the workpiece aggressively, removing heavy stock from both carbon steel and stainless steel with ease. Unlike standard abrasives that may glaze over or degrade rapidly under high pressure, the Allsteel Xtra maintains its cutting efficacy throughout its lifespan. This consistency is crucial for automated or semi-automated processes as well as manual grinding stations where predictability and speed are paramount.

Safety is a non-negotiable aspect of industrial grinding, and Walter Surface Technologies has integrated robust safety features into the 08C600. The reinforced bonding matrix ensures structural integrity even at the high rotational speeds of 6-inch angle grinders (rated up to 10,200 RPM). This focus on safety, combined with the wheel's superior balance, minimizes vibration and reduces the risk of operator fatigue-related errors. For MRO managers and procurement specialists looking to standardize their abrasive inventory, the Allsteel Xtra offers a versatile solution that covers a wide range of ferrous metal applications without compromise.

Whether utilized for preparing weld seams, beveling heavy plates, or general fabrication tasks, this grinding wheel delivers professional-grade results. Its compatibility with both steel and stainless steel eliminates the need for stocking multiple wheel types for different ferrous materials, streamlining inventory management and ensuring that the right tool is always available for the job.

FAQ

The Allsteel Xtra is designed for use on both steel and stainless steel, providing excellent performance on both materials without cross-contamination issues typically associated with lower-quality wheels.

The maximum safe operating speed for the 08C600 6-inch wheel is 10,200 RPM. Always ensure your angle grinder does not exceed this rating.

No, this is a Type 27 depressed center grinding wheel. It mounts directly to the angle grinder using the appropriate flange and nut or a compatible quick-change system; no backing pad is needed.

The 'Xtra' designation indicates a premium grain blend and bonding technology that offers higher removal rates and longer wheel life compared to standard general-purpose grinding wheels.

While it can physically grind aluminum, it is not recommended as it may load up (clog) quickly. Walter offers specific wheels designed for non-ferrous metals like aluminum to prevent loading.

This wheel features a standard 7/8-inch arbor hole, making it compatible with most standard 6-inch angle grinders on the market.

No, this is a 1/4-inch thick Type 27 grinding wheel designed for surface grinding. Do not use it for cutting off material, as the side load stress is different from cutting stress. Use a dedicated cut-off wheel for cutting.

Operators should always wear a face shield, safety glasses, heavy-duty gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure the grinder's safety guard is properly installed and adjusted.
