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.
