OVERVIEW

High-Performance Abrasive Cutting for Industrial Applications

The Walter Allsteel™ 11W042 Cut-Off Wheel is engineered to deliver a superior performance-to-price ratio for industrial professionals requiring reliable cutting solutions. Manufactured in Germany, this 4-1/2 inch abrasive wheel features a specialized formulation designed to optimize cutting speed while maintaining structural integrity over an extended service life. It is specifically calibrated for use on both carbon steel and stainless steel, making it a versatile addition to any MRO inventory or fabrication shop.

One of the critical technical advantages of the Allsteel™ line is its chemical purity. The wheel is guaranteed to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine (Fe, S, Cl < 0.1%), which is a mandatory requirement for working with stainless steel and other nickel-alloyed steels. Using a contaminant-free wheel prevents the introduction of impurities that could lead to corrosion or weld defects in the heat-affected zone. This feature ensures that the 11W042 meets the rigorous standards of industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing, and marine fabrication.

The 11W042 utilizes a Type 1 (flat) profile. This geometry is preferred for deep cutting applications where the wheel enters the workpiece at a 90-degree angle, providing maximum cutting depth and minimizing the risk of wandering. The 3/64-inch thickness allows for rapid material removal with minimal thermal transfer, reducing the likelihood of heat discoloration or warping on thin-gauge metals. Safety is paramount in abrasive applications, and this wheel carries OSA (Organization for the Safety of Abrasives) certification, attesting to its compliance with strict European and international safety standards.

Packaged in quantities of 25, these wheels are designed for high-volume environments where consistency and cost-efficiency are key drivers. The 7/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with the vast majority of standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders available on the market. By choosing Walter Allsteel™, procurement managers and safety officers secure a product that balances aggressive performance with certified safety and material compatibility.

FAQ

Type 1 wheels are flat and used primarily for cutting, offering better depth and straightness. Type 27 wheels have a depressed center, allowing for flush cutting and some light grinding, though Type 1 is generally preferred for pure cutting efficiency.

Yes, the Walter Allsteel 11W042 is free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, making it safe for use on stainless steel without causing contamination or corrosion issues.

This wheel fits standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders with a 7/8 inch arbor.

These wheels are sold in a package of 25 units.

No, this is a cut-off wheel designed for cutting only. Using it for side grinding is dangerous and can cause the wheel to shatter. Always use a grinding disc or flap disc for surface grinding.

The wheel is 3/64 inches thick, which is approximately 0.045 inches, allowing for fast cutting with minimal material loss.

Walter Surface Technologies manufactures the Allsteel line in Germany.

No, it is specifically formulated to be contaminant-free, ensuring your stainless welds remain pure and corrosion-resistant.
