11W072 - Walter Allsteel 7-Inch Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel for Steel and Stainless

High-Performance Cutting for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter Allsteel™ 11W072 is a premium-quality 7-inch cut-off wheel designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial environments. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, a leader in abrasive innovation, this wheel represents the perfect synthesis of performance, safety, and economic value. It is specifically formulated to deliver fast, cool cuts while maintaining a long service life, reducing the frequency of wheel changes and minimizing downtime in production workflows.

Contaminant-Free Formulation

One of the critical features of the Allsteel series is its advanced bonding matrix. The wheel is manufactured to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine (Fe, S, Cl < 0.1%), making it a guaranteed contamination-free solution. This characteristic is essential when working with stainless steel and nickel-alloyed steels, as it prevents the introduction of impurities that could lead to corrosion or weld defects later in the fabrication process. It ensures that the structural integrity and corrosion resistance of the base material remain uncompromised.

Type 1 Profile for Precision

This specific model features a Type 1 (flat) profile, which is ideal for deep cutting applications where the wheel needs to penetrate the workpiece perpendicularly. The 7-inch diameter combined with a thin 5/64-inch thickness allows for minimal material loss and reduced energy consumption during the cut. The 7/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with standard 7-inch angle grinders found in most industrial shops. Whether cutting structural steel, tubing, or sheet metal, the Allsteel wheel provides consistent tracking and stability.

Safety and Certification

Safety is paramount in abrasive operations. The Walter Allsteel 11W072 is OSA (Organization for the Safety of Abrasives) certified, meaning it has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it meets the highest international safety standards. Operators can work with confidence knowing that the wheel is designed to resist breakage and maintain integrity even under the stress of heavy-duty cutting. This commitment to safety, combined with its versatile performance on both carbon steel and stainless steel, makes the Allsteel 11W072 an indispensable tool for MRO, construction, and general fabrication sectors.
