11L212 - Walter ZIP 2-Inch Die Grinder Cut-Off Wheel

Precision Cutting for Confined Spaces

The Walter 11L212 ZIP Cut-Off Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology scaled down for precision applications. Designed specifically for use with straight shaft grinders and die grinders, this 2-inch wheel allows fabricators and maintenance professionals to bring the power and reliability of the famous ZIP family into tight, hard-to-reach areas where standard 4.5-inch or 6-inch angle grinders simply cannot fit. Engineered with a highly reinforced matrix, this wheel resists twisting and bending, ensuring safety and stability even at the high RPMs typical of pneumatic and electric die grinders.

One of the standout features of the Walter ZIP line is its ability to cut cool. Heat buildup is the enemy of stainless steel, often leading to discoloration, warping, or metallurgical changes that require time-consuming rework. The 11L212 is formulated to slice through material aggressively while dissipating heat, preserving the integrity of the workpiece. This makes it an indispensable tool for industries such as aerospace, food processing equipment repair, and pharmaceutical tank fabrication where surface contamination and heat-affected zones must be minimized. The wheel is guaranteed free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, ensuring it will not contaminate stainless steel surfaces.

Durability is at the core of Walter's engineering philosophy. Despite its small stature, this 2-inch wheel offers an exceptional lifespan, reducing the frequency of wheel changes and thereby lowering the total cost of operation. The 1/16-inch thickness provides a perfect balance between structural rigidity and a thin kerf, allowing for fast cuts with minimal material loss. Whether you are trimming bolts, cutting small diameter tubing, or notching sheet metal in a confined cabinet, the 11L212 delivers consistent, professional results.

Safety is paramount when using high-speed abrasives. This wheel is manufactured to the strictest safety standards, but operators must always ensure they are using the correct mounting hardware (mandrel) and personal protective equipment. The 1/4-inch arbor hole is a standard size for many die grinder mandrels, ensuring broad compatibility with existing shop tooling. By choosing Walter, you are investing in a product that prioritizes operator safety without compromising on speed or finish quality.
