10Q163 - Walter CHOPCUT 16-Inch Abrasive Cutoff Wheel for Steel and Stainless

High-Performance 16-Inch Abrasive Wheel for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter CHOPCUT™ (SKU: 10Q163) is a premium 16-inch abrasive cutoff wheel engineered to maximize the efficiency of portable chop saws. In industrial environments where speed and equipment longevity are paramount, the CHOPCUT™ series stands out by addressing the common limitations of standard abrasive wheels. Many large-diameter wheels can overload the motors of portable saws, leading to premature tool failure and slow cutting cycles. Walter has formulated this wheel specifically to cut freely, reducing the amperage draw on the machine while maintaining an aggressive cut rate.

This wheel features a 7/64-inch thickness and an A30 grit rating, utilizing high-quality aluminum oxide grain. This combination is particularly effective for cutting solid materials, such as heavy bar stock, structural beams, and thick-walled tubing. The structural integrity of the wheel ensures straight, accurate cuts with minimal deflection, which is critical for reducing secondary processing steps like deburring or grinding. By optimizing the bond system, Walter ensures that the wheel breaks down at a controlled rate, exposing fresh grain constantly to prevent glazing and overheating.

For procurement specialists and facility managers, the Walter 10Q163 offers a compelling cost-per-cut advantage. Its extended lifespan means fewer wheel changes, resulting in less downtime and higher throughput in the shop. Whether working with mild steel or stainless steel, this wheel provides consistent performance, making it a versatile inventory item for diverse metalworking applications. It is designed to meet rigorous safety standards, providing operators with a reliable and safe cutting solution for heavy-duty tasks.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Motor Protection: Free-cutting design prevents motor burnout on portable units.
• Versatility: One wheel effectively handles both carbon steel and stainless steel.
• Stability: 16-inch diameter with reinforced center for deep, straight cuts.
