WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between Walter Surface Technologies Type 27 and Type 29 grinding wheels?
Type 27 wheels have a flat, depressed center and are used for grinding and blending on flat surfaces. Type 29 wheels have a conical shape that provides a more aggressive grinding angle, making them suitable for edge work and contoured surfaces. Both types are available in the Walter Surface Technologies line, including the Flexcut Mill Scale series for concrete and masonry and the HP COMBO series for carbon and stainless steel. Selection depends on the application and the desired material removal rate.
What arbor sizes are available for Walter Surface Technologies cut-off and grinding wheels?
Walter Surface Technologies wheels are offered with common arbor sizes including 5/8"-11 threaded and 7/8" plain holes. For example, the HP COMBO combination wheels use a 5/8"-11 arbor, while the ZIP ALU cut-off wheels for soft metals have a 7/8" arbor hole. The correct arbor size must match the grinder spindle or nut type. Always verify the arbor size before ordering to ensure compatibility with your equipment.
What are the specifications of the Walter Surface Technologies parts washer basket?
The Walter Surface Technologies round parts washer basket (MPN 55B004) is constructed from galvanized steel with a silver finish. It has a basket width of 8-1/2 inches and includes a handle for transport. The basket is not stackable and does not include a lid. It is designed for use in parts washing systems to hold components during cleaning. This basket is compatible with standard parts washers and is available from 3G Electric.
What is the ZIP ALU series used for?
The ZIP ALU series from Walter Surface Technologies is designed for cutting soft metals such as aluminum. These are Type 27 depressed center cut-off wheels. A typical specification is 5" diameter, 3/64" thickness, 7/8" arbor hole, and 60 grit. The wheel formulation is intended to prevent loading and provide clean cuts in non-ferrous materials. They are used in fabrication and maintenance operations where cutting aluminum extrusions, sheet, or profiles is required.
Are Walter Surface Technologies flow-through brushes available in different shapes?
Yes, Walter Surface Technologies offers flow-through parts washing brushes in straight and angled configurations. Both have a 10-inch overall length, nylon bristles, and a plastic handle. The straight brush (MPN 55B005) and angled brush (MPN 55B007) are designed for use in parts washing systems to clean industrial components. The flow-through design allows cleaning fluid to pass through the brush head. These brushes are compatible with Walter Surface Technologies parts washers and are available from 3G Electric.
