Walter Allsteel 7-Inch Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel for Steel and Stainless

Walter Allsteel 11W172: The Versatile 7-Inch Cutting Solution

Equip your angle grinder with the Walter Allsteel 7" x 5/64" x 7/8" Cut-Off Wheel and experience the difference that premium abrasive engineering makes. The Allsteel series is designed to be the workhorse of the metal fabrication industry, providing a robust solution for cutting sections, structural steel, tubing, and sheet metal. With the SKU 11W172, you get a wheel that is specifically tailored for heavy-duty applications where speed and tool life are critical factors in productivity.

Contaminant-Free Formulation

Modern fabrication often involves a mix of materials, and cross-contamination can be a costly issue. The Allsteel wheel addresses this with a contaminant-free bond. It contains virtually no iron, sulfur, or chlorine, making it safe for use on stainless steel as well as mild steel. This eliminates the need to switch wheels when moving between different ferrous metals, streamlining your workflow and ensuring that your stainless projects remain rust-free and compliant with industry standards.

Enhanced Control with Type 27 Shape

The Type 27 (depressed center) profile of this wheel is a significant advantage for specific cutting tasks. The raised hub allows the mounting flange to sit below the cutting plane, permitting the operator to cut flush against walls, floors, or other workpieces. Additionally, the depressed center adds mechanical strength to the wheel, reducing flex during operation. This rigidity translates to straighter cuts and greater control, which is essential when handling the torque of a 7-inch grinder.

Performance You Can Trust

Walter Surface Technologies has developed the Allsteel grain blend to cut fast without sacrificing longevity. The 5/64-inch thickness removes material quickly while generating less heat than thicker grinding wheels, preserving the metallurgical integrity of the base material. Whether you are slicing through structural beams or trimming pipe, the 11W172 maintains its cutting aggression throughout its life. Backed by OSA certification, this wheel offers the safety and performance professional welders and fabricators demand.
