Walter Surface Technologies 12E643 Grinding Wheel 10in

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 12E643 is a Type 1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel built for aggressive material removal on ferrous metals and general shop grinding tasks. The wheel measures 10 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick with a 1-inch arbor hole, and it runs on a vitrified bond with 24-grit aluminum oxide abrasive. Rated to a maximum of 2,500 RPM, it delivers consistent coarse stock removal under sustained use. A bushing is included to accommodate common arbor sizes. This wheel is installed and serviced by machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators operating standard bench or pedestal grinders.

This grinding wheel is suited for coarse grinding, deburring, and shaping of metal workpieces in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and machine shops. Its non-porous vitrified bond resists loading and holds grain well during heavy-duty grinding passes. The gray aluminum oxide composition handles general-purpose ferrous grinding applications where fast, coarse material removal is the priority. Applications include tool reconditioning, weld cleanup, and rough shaping on steel and iron workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with abrasive wheel mounting procedures. Always disconnect and lock out power to the grinder before removing or mounting any wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips before mounting and perform a ring test per ANSI B11.9 guidelines. Never exceed the maximum rated RPM of 2,500; verify the grinder spindle speed before operation and confirm the arbor flange and bushing are properly seated before running the machine.
