OVERVIEW

Built Tough for the Track

When you are out on the line, you need a cutting wheel that doesn't mess around. The Walter RAILCUT II™ is the heavy-hitter you want on your gas saw when it's time to slice through steel rail. Designed for the real-world abuse of track maintenance, this 16-inch wheel (11V163) combines aggressive cutting speed with the structural integrity needed to keep you safe.

Fast Cuts, Less Hassle

Time is money, especially during track blocks. You can't afford to bog down or constantly swap out worn wheels. The RAILCUT II™ bites into the steel and rips through it quickly. Unlike cheaper wheels that glaze over or heat up the rail until it turns blue, this wheel cuts free and cool. This means you get a clean edge that's ready for welding or joining without spending twenty minutes grinding off hardened slag.

Safety First

We know that cutting rail with a handheld gas saw can be sketchy if the wheel isn't up to par. Twisting, pinching, and vibration are part of the job. That is why Walter reinforced this wheel to be extra tough. It resists shattering and holds together under pressure, giving you the confidence to push through the cut. Whether you are working on new construction or emergency repairs, this is the wheel that helps you get the job done right and get home safe.

Ready for Your Saw

With a standard 1-inch arbor, this wheel fits most major brands of rail saws and power cutters. Just mount it up, check your guards, and you are ready to cut. It’s the reliable choice for welders and track gangs who demand professional-grade consumables.

FAQ

This wheel is designed for gas and electric power saws (rail saws) that accept a 16-inch diameter wheel with a 1-inch arbor.

Glare-free cutting means the wheel cuts cool enough to prevent the metal surface from overheating and becoming hardened (martensite formation), which can cause cracking or welding issues.

Yes, while it is optimized for rail steel, it is an excellent heavy-duty cutter for other thick structural steel sections.

Yes, the RAILCUT II features heavy-duty reinforcement to withstand the side-load stresses often encountered when using handheld power saws.

These wheels are typically sold in packages of 10. Please check the specific quantity selector for purchasing.

Always refer to the safety label printed directly on the wheel for the specific Maximum RPM rating. Never exceed the rated speed of the wheel.

A 16-inch wheel provides a greater depth of cut, allowing you to cut through larger rail profiles in a single pass or with less maneuvering.

Store wheels flat in a dry, climate-controlled area. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperature changes to maintain their integrity.
