10P163 - Walter Chopcut II 16-Inch Abrasive Wheel for Portable Saws

High-Performance Abrasive for Portable Equipment

The Walter 10P163 Chopcut II is a specialized 16-inch abrasive cut-off wheel engineered to maximize the efficiency of portable chop saws. Unlike general-purpose wheels that may overload low-amperage motors, the Chopcut II features a specific formulation that promotes free-cutting action. This reduces the amperage draw on the power tool, preventing premature motor burnout and ensuring consistent RPMs throughout the cut. With dimensions of 16" diameter, 7/64" thickness, and a 1" arbor, it fits standard large-capacity portable saws found on industrial jobsites.

Structural integrity is paramount in large diameter abrasives. This wheel is constructed with double external reinforcement, providing exceptional resistance to lateral stress and twisting forces that can occur when cutting heavy structural shapes. This reinforcement layer significantly enhances operator safety by reducing the risk of wheel breakage under load. The wheel is optimized for cutting tubing, extrusions, and light-to-medium gauge structural steel, delivering clean cuts with minimal burr.

In industrial MRO settings, versatility is key. The Chopcut II is formulated to handle both carbon steel and stainless steel effectively. This dual-capability eliminates the need for operators to switch wheels between materials, streamlining workflow. The 7/64" thickness offers a rigid platform for straight cuts while remaining thin enough to minimize material loss and heat generation. For fabrication shops and field maintenance teams relying on portable equipment, this wheel represents a balance of speed, safety, and tool preservation.
