Walter Surface Technologies 11L253 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 11L253 is a Type 1 reinforced cut-off wheel engineered for precision parting and slotting work on steel and stainless steel. Built with an aluminum oxide abrasive grain bonded in a resinoid matrix, it delivers consistent stock removal at high rotational speeds. The wheel measures 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick, with a 3/8 inch arbor hole sized for die grinder spindles. It is rated to a maximum of 30,600 RPM. The A24 grit specification positions this wheel for aggressive cutting rather than fine surface work. Metalworkers, fabricators, and maintenance technicians reach for this wheel when working in tight clearances where larger wheels cannot fit.

This cut-off wheel is intended for use with die grinders in applications involving steel and stainless steel. Its compact 2 inch diameter makes it well suited for detail cutting, weld removal, and slot cutting in confined areas where a standard 4.5 inch or larger wheel is impractical. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and field service situations requiring a lightweight, handheld rotational tool.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of abrasive cut-off wheels must follow ANSI B7.1 safety standards and the tool manufacturer guidelines. Before mounting, inspect the wheel for cracks or damage and confirm the tool spindle speed does not exceed the 30,600 RPM rating marked on the wheel. Always use the correct arbor size and flanges, and ensure the guard is in place before starting the grinder. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves whenever operating cutting wheels.
