11W142 - Walter Allsteel 4-1/2 Inch Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel Pack of 25

High-Performance General Purpose Cutting

The Walter Allsteel™ 11W142 is a premium abrasive cut-off wheel designed to deliver exceptional versatility and performance in industrial environments. Engineered in Germany, this wheel represents a balanced formulation that provides fast cutting speeds without compromising on wheel life. It is specifically manufactured to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, making it a guaranteed safe choice for working on stainless steel and other nickel-alloyed steels where contamination can lead to costly corrosion issues.

This specific model features a Type 27 depressed center profile. Unlike standard flat (Type 1) wheels, the Type 27 design incorporates a raised hub area. This geometry allows the locking nut of the angle grinder to sit recessed within the wheel's profile, enabling the operator to make flush cuts against adjacent surfaces. This is particularly advantageous in structural fabrication and maintenance repair operations where bolts, studs, or protrusions must be removed cleanly without damaging the base material.

With dimensions of 4-1/2" x 3/64" x 7/8", the wheel offers a thin profile for minimal material loss and reduced thermal load on the workpiece. The 3/64" thickness ensures a rapid cut with less power consumption from the tool. Safety is paramount in abrasive applications, and the Allsteel line carries OSA certification, attesting to its compliance with rigorous European safety standards. Sold in packs of 25, these wheels provide a cost-effective solution for high-volume shops requiring consistent, reliable performance across both carbon steel and stainless steel applications.
