11L263 - Walter ZIP 2.5-Inch Die Grinder Cut-Off Wheel

Precision Cutting for Industrial Die Grinders

The Walter 11L263 ZIP Cut-Off Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology scaled down for precision applications. Designed specifically for use with straight shafts and die grinders, this 2.5-inch wheel brings the legendary performance of the Walter ZIP line to intricate and hard-to-reach cutting tasks. Industrial fabricators often face challenges when working in confined spaces where standard 4.5-inch or 5-inch angle grinders simply cannot fit. This compact wheel solves that problem without compromising on cut quality or safety.

Engineered with a thickness of 1/16 inch, this wheel is optimized for slicing through material quickly and efficiently. The thin profile reduces friction and heat generation, which is critical when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel. By cutting cooler, the 11L263 prevents heat discoloration and warping, reducing the need for post-weld cleanup or surface restoration. It is heavily reinforced to withstand the high RPMs typically associated with pneumatic and electric die grinders, ensuring operator safety and wheel structural integrity under load.

Durability is a hallmark of Walter Surface Technologies, and this small-diameter wheel is no exception. It features a specialized bond matrix that resists glazing and maintains a sharp cutting edge throughout its life. Whether you are trimming hydraulic lines, cutting bolts in recessed areas, or performing detailed fabrication work on stainless steel enclosures, this wheel delivers consistent performance. It is compatible with any die grinder equipped with a 3/8-inch arbor mounting system.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Cool Cutting Action: Minimizes heat affected zones (HAZ) on stainless steel.
• High RPM Rating: Safe for use on high-speed pneumatic die grinders (rated up to 27,100 RPM).
• Versatility: Equally effective on carbon steel, structural steel, and stainless alloys.
• Precision: Small diameter allows for surgical cuts in tight quarters.
