OVERVIEW

High-Performance Concrete and Masonry Abrasive

The Walter 08D502 Concrete Grinding Wheel is a specialized abrasive tool designed to meet the rigorous demands of the construction and masonry industries. Engineered with premium Silicon Carbide grains (C-24), this 5-inch wheel excels at working with non-ferrous materials that are notoriously difficult for standard abrasives. Whether you are smoothing out concrete surfaces, cutting through masonry block, or shaping stone, this wheel delivers consistent, aggressive performance without glazing over.

Safety and durability are paramount in the design of Walter abrasives. This wheel features multiple reinforced layers that provide exceptional structural integrity, significantly reducing the risk of breakage during operation. The 1/8-inch thickness is a strategic design choice, offering the versatility to perform fast, clean cuts while possessing enough rigidity for intermittent light grinding tasks. This dual capability makes it an invaluable tool for professionals who need to switch between cutting and shaping without changing wheels.

The Type 27 depressed center configuration allows for flush grinding and better access in tight corners, while the standard 7/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with most 5-inch angle grinders. Ideal for use on concrete, brick, cinder block, and cast iron, the Walter 08D502 is the reliable choice for heavy-duty material removal and surface preparation.

FAQ

This wheel is specifically designed for concrete, masonry, stone, and cast iron. It uses Silicon Carbide grain which is ideal for these non-ferrous materials.

It is not recommended. While it might cut, Silicon Carbide is not optimized for steel and will wear prematurely. For steel, use an Aluminum Oxide or Zirconia wheel.

The wheel is 1/8 inch thick, which allows it to be used for both cutting and intermittent light grinding.

This wheel fits a standard 5-inch angle grinder with a 7/8-inch arbor.

This is a Type 27 (depressed center) wheel, which allows for better clearance when grinding flush to a surface.

This wheel is rated C-24, meaning it uses a coarse 24-grit Silicon Carbide abrasive.

It is designed for light to medium grinding. For heavy stock removal, a thicker 1/4-inch grinding wheel is recommended to ensure safety and longevity.

The maximum safe operating speed is typically 12,200 RPM for this 5-inch wheel. Always check the label on the wheel to confirm.
