11R072 - Walter Tough Cut 7-Inch Abrasive Cutting Wheel Type 1

Heavy-Duty Performance with Walter Tough Cut

The Walter 11R072 Tough Cut™ is a high-performance abrasive cutting wheel designed to tackle the most demanding industrial applications. Part of Walter Surface Technologies' renowned lineup of abrasives, the Tough Cut series is engineered for professionals who require a balance between cutting speed and wheel durability. Measuring 7 inches in diameter with a 3/32-inch thickness and a standard 7/8-inch arbor, this Type 1 wheel is compatible with most heavy-duty angle grinders.

Unlike ultra-thin wheels that prioritize speed above all else, the Tough Cut's slightly thicker profile (3/32") offers increased rigidity. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where the wheel might be subjected to lateral pressure or twisting forces that could shatter thinner discs. Despite its robustness, it utilizes Walter's advanced grain technology to deliver a fast, cool cut that minimizes heat buildup and burr formation on both steel and stainless steel workpieces.

Optimized for Steel and Stainless

This wheel features an A-30 grit rating, specifically formulated to cut through carbon steel, structural steel, and stainless steel with ease. The resinoid bond is reinforced to withstand high RPMs (up to 8,600 RPM), ensuring safety and longevity even under heavy loads. Whether you are cutting pipe, structural beams, or heavy plate, the 11R072 provides the consistent performance expected from a premium Walter product.

Safety and Efficiency

Walter's commitment to safety is evident in the manufacturing of the Tough Cut wheel. The reinforced design reduces the risk of wheel breakage, protecting the operator and reducing downtime. The Type 1 flat profile allows for deep, perpendicular cuts, making it ideal for parting off material or cutting deep slots. By reducing vibration and friction, this wheel also helps extend the life of your power tools, reducing amp draw and motor wear during extended use.
