10B123 - Walter Ripcut 12-Inch Abrasive Chop Saw Wheel for Steel and Stainless

Overview

The Walter Ripcut 10B123 is a high-performance 12-inch abrasive cut-off wheel designed specifically for use on stationary cut-off machines. Part of Walter's renowned abrasive line, the Ripcut series is engineered to provide a versatile and cost-effective solution for general fabrication and maintenance repair operations (MRO). This wheel is formulated to cut both carbon steel and stainless steel, reducing the need for inventory segregation and minimizing wheel changeovers in mixed-material shops.

Operational Efficiency

One of the defining characteristics of the Ripcut wheel is its optimization for low-power machines. In many industrial settings, chop saws may not possess the high torque required to drive aggressive, hard-bond wheels through solid stock without stalling. The Ripcut 10B123 addresses this by utilizing a bond matrix that allows for free cutting action, preventing the machine from bogging down while maintaining respectable cutting speeds. This feature ensures consistent throughput regardless of the equipment's age or power rating.

Versatility and Durability

The wheel is constructed to handle a diverse range of workpiece geometries. It is equally effective when slicing through delicate, thin-walled profiles—where precision and low heat input are critical—as it is when cutting heavy solid bars. The heavy-duty reinforcement provides the structural integrity necessary for demanding cuts, ensuring safety and extended wheel life. By delivering exceptional cutting speed combined with durability, the Walter Ripcut offers a low cost-per-cut ratio, making it an economical choice for high-volume workshops.
