11L333 - Walter ZIP 3-Inch Die Grinder Wheel for Steel and Stainless

Precision Grinding for Industrial Applications

The Walter 11L333 ZIP Grinding Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for small-diameter applications. Designed specifically for use with straight shaft and die grinders, this 3-inch wheel is engineered to deliver the same high-performance characteristics found in Walter's larger angle grinder wheels. With a thickness of 1/4 inch, it offers the structural integrity required for aggressive material removal, notching, and shaping, while maintaining the precision needed for detailed work in confined spaces.

One of the critical challenges in grinding stainless steel is heat generation, which can lead to warping or discoloration. The ZIP wheel formulation addresses this with a specialized bond and grain structure that promotes a cool cutting action. This feature significantly extends the life of the wheel by preventing glazing and ensures that the workpiece remains within thermal tolerance. Furthermore, the wheel is manufactured to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine (less than 0.1%), making it a safe choice for nuclear and food-grade stainless steel applications where contamination is a major concern.

Vibration is another enemy of productivity and tool longevity. Walter's manufacturing process ensures these wheels are perfectly balanced, reducing operator fatigue and wear on the die grinder's bearings. Whether you are smoothing out a weld in a tight pipe joint or shaping a metal component, the 11L333 provides consistent, chatter-free performance. It is the ideal abrasive solution for MRO professionals who demand reliability and efficiency in their consumables.
