10A183 - Walter Ripcut 18-Inch Heavy Duty Chop Saw Wheel for Steel

Industrial-Grade Cutting Performance for Stationary Machines

The Walter Surface Technologies Ripcut 18-inch Cut-Off Wheel (SKU: 10A183) is a premium abrasive consumable engineered for the rigorous demands of heavy industrial fabrication. Designed specifically for use on stationary cut-off machines with power ratings exceeding 10 HP, this wheel leverages Walter's advanced bonding technology to deliver exceptional performance in high-torque applications. Unlike standard general-purpose wheels, the Ripcut series is formulated to withstand the immense pressure and heat generated when cutting through thick structural steel, solid shafts, and heavy-wall tubing.

Efficiency in a production environment is measured by cost-per-cut and machine uptime. The "Long Life" (L/Life) designation of the 10A183 indicates a reinforced grain structure that resists premature wear, significantly extending the interval between wheel replacements. This durability does not come at the expense of speed; the wheel maintains a high cut rate, aggressively removing material while maintaining stability. This balance makes it an ideal choice for steel service centers, structural fabrication shops, and maintenance departments where large cross-section materials are processed regularly.

Safety and precision are paramount in stationary cutting operations. The Walter Ripcut wheel features a robust reinforcement architecture that ensures structural integrity even under heavy load. It provides straight, accurate cuts with minimal deflection, reducing the need for secondary grinding or deburring operations. Whether processing bundles of angle iron or slicing through solid steel bar stock, the 10A183 delivers consistent, reliable results that professional fabricators trust.
