10A203 - Walter Ripcut 20-Inch Heavy Duty Chop Saw Wheel for Steel

Industrial Grade 20-Inch Abrasive Cutting Power

The Walter 10A203 Ripcut™ Cut-Off Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for stationary sawing applications. Designed explicitly for heavy-duty industrial environments, this 20-inch wheel is engineered to withstand the immense torque and pressure generated by high-power cut-off machines, specifically those with motors exceeding 10 horsepower. In production settings where downtime equates to lost revenue, the "L/Life" (Long Life) formulation of the Ripcut series provides a tangible economic advantage by significantly extending the interval between wheel changes.

Structural integrity is paramount when operating large diameter abrasives at high speeds. Walter has integrated heavy reinforcement into the 10A203, ensuring maximum stability and safety during deep cuts through solid steel shafts, thick-walled tubing, and heavy structural profiles. This reinforcement not only enhances safety but also improves the straightness of the cut, reducing material waste and the need for secondary machining or grinding operations.

The Ripcut formulation is optimized for ferrous metals, delivering a cool, aggressive cutting action that prevents work hardening of the material. Whether you are processing structural steel bundles or slicing through dense solid stock, this wheel maintains a consistent cut rate throughout its lifespan. By balancing matrix wear with grain exposure, Walter ensures that fresh abrasive is constantly available at the cutting interface, preventing glazing and maintaining peak efficiency from the first cut to the stub.

Key Industrial Applications

This wheel is the preferred choice for steel service centers, heavy fabrication shops, and manufacturing plants utilizing large stationary chop saws. Its robust construction allows it to handle the most demanding cutting tasks without compromising on speed or finish quality.
