Walter Surface Technologies 11T242 Cut-off Wheel 4.5in

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 11T242 is a Type 1 resinoid-bonded aluminum oxide cut-off wheel engineered for fast, clean cutting on steel and stainless steel. Measuring 4-1/2 inches in diameter and 1/16 inches thick with a 7/8-inch arbor hole, this wheel mounts directly to standard angle grinders. The 36-grit aluminum oxide abrasive delivers aggressive stock removal while the reinforced construction handles the lateral stresses common in production cutting environments. Rated to a maximum of 13,300 RPM, the wheel is suited for sustained use in metal fabrication, pipe cutting, and structural steel work.

The 11T242 is designed for use with angle grinders in applications involving steel and stainless steel. It is a practical choice for metal fabricators, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians who need a consistent, thin-kerf cut-off wheel for everyday cutting tasks in both shop and field settings. The Type 1 flat profile allows straight, controlled cuts on bar stock, pipe, sheet metal, and structural sections.

Installation Notes

Cut-off wheels must be installed and operated by personnel familiar with angle grinder safety requirements. Always inspect the wheel for cracks or damage before mounting, and never exceed the marked maximum RPM. Ensure the grinder guard is in place before operation and wear appropriate eye, face, and hand protection. Disconnect power to the tool before mounting or removing the wheel.
