Walter Allsteel 5-Inch Type 1 Cutting Disc for Steel and Stainless

Reliable Cutting for Every Job

When you are out in the shop or on the job site, you need a cutting wheel that just works—no fuss, no contamination, and no wasted time. The Walter Allsteel 5-inch cut-off wheel (11W052) is built for welders who need a dependable tool for slicing through both mild steel and stainless steel. Whether you are cutting angle iron, tubing, or sheet metal, this wheel provides a smooth, fast cut that helps you get to the welding stage faster.

Safe for Stainless Steel

One of the biggest headaches in welding stainless steel is preventing contamination. Using a standard wheel can leave behind iron or sulfur deposits that ruin your weld or cause rust later on. The Walter Allsteel is specially formulated to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine. This means you can switch between steel and stainless projects without worrying about contaminating your expensive stainless materials. It gives you peace of mind knowing your prep work won't compromise the final quality of your weld.

Precision and Control

This wheel features a Type 1 flat profile. For welders, this means you can make straight, deep cuts without the hub getting in the way. It is perfect for cutting through box sections or trimming plate. The 3/64-inch thickness is thin enough to slice quickly without bogging down your grinder, but tough enough to handle the rigors of daily use. You get less heat buildup, which means less discoloration on your metal and less time spent cleaning up heat-affected zones before you lay a bead.

Value and Performance

Sold in packs of 25, these wheels are an economical choice for busy shops. They offer a great balance of life and speed, so you aren't constantly stopping to change out a worn wheel. If you are looking for a workhorse abrasive that handles the variety of metals you weld every day, the Walter Allsteel is a solid addition to your tool crib.
