Walter Surface Technologies 12E649 Grinding Wheel 10in

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 12E649 is a Type 1 bench and pedestal grinding wheel designed for material removal and surface conditioning on bench grinders and pedestal grinder setups. Measuring 10 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick with a 1-inch arbor hole, this wheel is constructed from silicon carbide bonded in a vitrified matrix. It carries an 80-grit, medium-grade specification and is rated to a maximum of 2500 RPM. The green silicon carbide composition makes it well suited for grinding non-ferrous metals, carbide tooling, and non-metallic materials. A bushing is included to accommodate various arbor sizes. Licensed trade professionals and maintenance shops rely on this wheel for precision bench grinding tasks.

This wheel is intended for use on standard bench grinders and pedestal grinders in industrial, maintenance, and trade shop environments. Its silicon carbide abrasive and vitrified bond make it appropriate for grinding cemented carbides, ceramics, cast iron, aluminum, and similar non-ferrous or hard, brittle materials. The non-porous construction and medium grit rating support controlled stock removal with consistent surface results. It is a practical choice for tool and cutter grinding, deburring, and sharpening operations in commercial shop settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with abrasive wheel safety standards, including ANSI B7.1 guidelines. Always power down and lock out the grinder before mounting or removing any wheel. Inspect the wheel for cracks or chips using the ring test before installation, and never exceed the wheel's maximum rated RPM. Ensure the machine's RPM rating is equal to or lower than the wheel's 2500 RPM maximum before use.
