OVERVIEW

Advanced Abrasive Technology for Industrial Steel Fabrication

The Walter HP XX™ 5" Grinding Wheel (SKU: 08H500) represents the pinnacle of abrasive innovation tailored for the industrial sector. In high-volume manufacturing and fabrication environments, the cost of consumables is often dwarfed by the cost of labor and downtime. Walter Surface Technologies has engineered the HP XX series to address this specific economic equation. By incorporating the latest advancements in grain chemistry and bonding matrices, this grinding wheel delivers a performance profile that maximizes material removal rates while simultaneously extending the service life of the wheel.

Designed specifically for use on steel, the HP XX utilizes a proprietary formulation that resists glazing and maintains a sharp cutting edge throughout its lifecycle. This ensures that operators can maintain peak productivity without the fatigue associated with inefficient abrasives. For facility managers and procurement specialists, the 08H500 offers a tangible reduction in total grinding expenses. Fewer wheel changes mean less downtime, and faster cutting speeds mean projects move through the production line more rapidly. The 5-inch diameter combined with a 1/4-inch thickness provides a robust platform for heavy stock removal, making it an essential asset for structural steel plants, shipyards, and heavy machinery manufacturing.

Safety and consistency are paramount in industrial MRO. Walter’s manufacturing process guarantees that every HP XX wheel meets rigorous safety standards, providing smooth, vibration-free operation that protects both the tool and the operator. When your operation demands the lowest cost-per-cut and the highest throughput, the Walter HP XX is the strategic choice for your abrasive inventory.

FAQ

The Walter HP XX 08H500 is designed specifically for use on steel. It is optimized to provide the highest removal rates and longest life on ferrous metals.

This grinding wheel has a diameter of 5 inches, a thickness of 1/4 inch, and an arbor size of 7/8 inch.

Yes, it fits standard 5-inch angle grinders that accept a 7/8-inch arbor. Ensure your grinder guard is compatible with a 5-inch wheel.

The HP XX is Walter's premium offering for steel, boasting the longest life and highest material removal rate compared to their standard HP or other general-purpose wheels.

While it may physically cut stainless, it is formulated specifically for carbon steel. For stainless steel, Walter offers specific formulations (like HP Stainless) to prevent contamination and ensure optimal performance.

The 1/4 inch thickness is the standard for grinding wheels (Type 27), providing the structural integrity needed for heavy side-loading and aggressive stock removal.

The SKU 08H500 typically refers to the wheel with a 7/8" arbor hole requiring a locking nut. Spin-on hub versions usually have different part numbers (often ending in different suffixes or series).

By lasting longer and cutting faster, it reduces the number of wheels purchased over time and significantly lowers the labor cost associated with grinding tasks.
