11T453V - Walter ZIP+ 4.5-Inch Type 27 Combo Cutting and Grinding Wheel (Pack of 5)

High-Performance Cutting and Light Grinding with Walter ZIP+

The Walter ZIP+ 11T453V is a premium abrasive solution designed to bridge the gap between standard cut-off wheels and grinding discs. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 4-1/2 inch Type 27 wheel features a reinforced 1/16-inch thickness that provides the structural integrity necessary for side-loading. Unlike standard 0.045-inch wheels that are strictly for cutting, the ZIP+ allows operators to perform cuts and then immediately transition to light grinding or deburring without switching tools or changing wheels. This versatility significantly improves workflow efficiency in industrial environments.

Constructed with a proprietary grain blend and Walter's patented rib design, the ZIP+ runs cooler than competitive wheels, reducing the risk of heat discoloration on stainless steel and extending the life of the abrasive. The Type 27 depressed center profile is particularly advantageous for flush cutting applications, allowing the operator to get closer to the workpiece for precise removal of bolts, welds, or protrusions. The wheel is rated for a maximum speed of 13,300 RPM, making it compatible with standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders equipped with a 7/8-inch arbor.

Safety is a paramount feature of the ZIP+ series. The extra reinforcement layers make it one of the safest thin cut-off wheels on the market, resisting twisting and bending forces that might shatter lesser wheels. It is an ideal choice for MRO professionals, metal fabricators, and pipe fitters who demand reliability and performance when working with carbon steel and stainless steel. This package contains 5 wheels, ensuring you have the stock needed for demanding projects.
