11W303 - Walter Allsteel 3-Inch Mini Cut-Off Wheel Type 1

Precision Cutting for Industrial Applications

The Walter Allsteel 3" x 1/32" x 3/8" Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel (SKU: 11W303) is a premium abrasive solution designed for the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this mini cut-off wheel represents the intersection of durability and precision. It is specifically formulated with high-grade aluminum oxide grains that are bonded to withstand the high rotational speeds of pneumatic and electric die grinders. The wheel's composition is strictly controlled to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine (Fe, S, Cl), making it an essential consumable for facilities handling stainless steel where cross-contamination and subsequent corrosion are critical concerns.

With a thickness of just 1/32 of an inch, this wheel minimizes the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) on the workpiece, reducing the need for secondary finishing or deburring. The thin profile allows for an exceptionally fast cut rate, slicing through material with less resistance and energy consumption compared to thicker standard wheels. The Type 1 flat configuration is ideal for vertical cutting applications, providing the operator with excellent control and visibility of the cut line. Whether utilized in aerospace maintenance, food processing equipment fabrication, or general MRO tasks, the Allsteel formulation ensures consistent performance across a variety of ferrous metals.

Operators using straight shaft grinders will appreciate the balance and stability of the 11W303. Its 3/8-inch arbor is a standard fit for many industrial mandrels, ensuring secure mounting and safe operation. By consolidating the ability to cut both mild steel and stainless steel into a single product, Walter helps inventory managers reduce SKU complexity while providing technicians with a reliable tool that does not compromise on speed or safety. This wheel is a testament to Walter's commitment to providing superior abrasive solutions that enhance productivity in challenging industrial environments.
