Walter Surface Technologies 11R052 Type 1 Cut-off Wheel 5 in

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 11R052 is a Type 1 resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide cut-off wheel rated for aggressive cutting on steel and stainless steel. At 5 inches in diameter and 3/32 inches thick, this flat-profile wheel is engineered for fast, clean cuts with minimal kerf loss. The 30-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers the bite needed for ferrous and stainless workpieces. Rated to 12,200 RPM maximum, it is compatible with standard angle grinders used across fabrication, pipefitting, and structural steel work. Reinforced construction helps resist lateral stress during cut-off operations, making it a dependable consumable for daily production environments.

This wheel is suited for angle grinder use in both field and shop settings. Typical applications include cutting steel pipe, bar stock, plate, and stainless steel components in mechanical, pipefitting, and fabrication trades. The 7/8 inch arbor hole fits the standard spindle size found on most 5 inch angle grinders. Its flat Type 1 profile makes it appropriate for straight plunge and chop cuts rather than grinding or contouring work.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be mounted and operated by qualified personnel familiar with abrasive wheel safety. Always verify the grinder spindle speed does not exceed the 12,200 RPM maximum rating before mounting. Inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before each use and never use a damaged wheel. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection, gloves, and a face shield; ensure guards are in place on the grinder before operation.
