OVERVIEW

Versatile Cutting Power for Every Job

Equip your shop with the Walter Allsteel 6" Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel, the workhorse abrasive that simplifies your inventory and speeds up your workflow. When you are switching between mild steel and stainless steel projects, you need a wheel that can handle both materials effectively. The Allsteel 11W162 is designed exactly for that purpose—providing a universal cutting solution that delivers fast cuts and long life, ensuring you get the best value for your money.

The Type 27 design features a depressed center, which is a favorite among welders for its added durability and the ability to get into tight spots for flush cutting. Unlike flat Type 1 wheels, the depressed center allows the locking nut to sit recessed, letting you work flat against a surface without interference. This 6-inch wheel fits standard angle grinders with a 7/8" arbor, making it a seamless addition to your existing tool lineup. With a thickness of 1/16", it slices through metal quickly, meaning less time grinding and more time welding.

Walter is known for quality, and the Allsteel line lives up to that reputation. These wheels are formulated to cut cool and free, minimizing burrs and heat buildup. This means less time spent deburring or cleaning up cuts later. Plus, because they are free of contaminants like iron and sulfur, you can use them on stainless steel projects without worrying about rust or cross-contamination. For a reliable, do-it-all cutting wheel that stands up to daily abuse, the Walter Allsteel is the smart choice for any welder.
