11W042 - Walter Allsteel 4-1/2 Inch Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel (Pack of 25)

Your Go-To Wheel for Fast, Clean Cuts

When you are in the middle of a fabrication job, you need a cutting wheel that just works—no fuss, no binding, and definitely no constant wheel changes. The Walter Allsteel™ 11W042 is built for welders who need a reliable workhorse for their 4-1/2 inch angle grinder. Whether you are slicing through angle iron, cutting pipe to length, or trimming stainless sheet, this wheel delivers a fast, smooth cut that lets you move on to the fit-up and weld faster.

We know that working with stainless steel can be a headache if you don't have the right consumables. Cheap wheels can leave behind contaminants that rust later, ruining your beautiful finish. The Allsteel™ wheel is formulated completely free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine. This means you can cut stainless with confidence, knowing you aren't embedding junk into the metal that will cause corrosion issues down the road. It cuts cool and clean, leaving fewer burrs and reducing the amount of time you have to spend deburring or grinding before you strike an arc.

This specific wheel is a Type 1, which means it is perfectly flat. Welders often prefer Type 1 wheels for splitting metal or making deep, straight cuts because they don't have the depressed center getting in the way. At 3/64-inch thick, it removes less metal than a standard 1/8-inch wheel, which means less dust in the air and less wasted material. It’s thin enough to be fast, but tough enough to hold up to the demands of a busy shop.

The 25-pack is perfect for stocking up your gang box or tool crib. You get German-made quality that Walter is famous for, but at a price point that makes sense for everyday general-purpose cutting. Stop fighting with wheels that glaze over or shatter; slap on an Allsteel™ and feel the difference in how it bites into the metal. It’s the perfect balance of life and speed for the welder who takes pride in their work.
