Walter Railcut II 16-Inch Rail Saw Wheel

Precision Abrasives for Rail Fabrication

For welders and fabricators working in the railway sector, the Walter 11V165 Railcut II™ represents the pinnacle of abrasive cutting technology. This 16-inch x 1-inch wheel is specifically formulated to tackle the unique metallurgical challenges of rail steel. Whether you are preparing a rail end for a thermite weld or performing maintenance cuts on a frog or switch, the Railcut II delivers a clean, consistent surface finish that facilitates high-quality joining.

Superior Control and Life

The Railcut II is not just about brute force; it is about control. The wheel is designed to minimize vibration, allowing the operator to maintain steady pressure and accuracy throughout the cut. This stability is crucial when using handheld gas saws, where operator fatigue can impact safety and quality. Walter's proprietary manufacturing process ensures that each wheel is perfectly balanced, reducing wobble and extending the life of both the abrasive and the saw's drive system. With the 11V165, you get more cuts per wheel, lowering the total cost of operation.

Advanced Anti-Glazing Technology

One of the biggest frustrations in rail cutting is wheel glazing, where the abrasive grains dull and the bond melts, causing the wheel to skid rather than cut. The Railcut II utilizes a friable grain structure that breaks down at a controlled rate, preventing the buildup of heat and glazing. This ensures that the wheel bites into the metal from the first spark to the last, maintaining a high cutting rate even on work-hardened rail surfaces. This efficiency is essential for welders who need to prep joints quickly and effectively.
