11T242 - Walter ZIP+ XTRA 4.5-Inch Heavy Duty Cut-Off Wheel

Maximum Durability and Performance with Walter ZIP+ XTRA

The Walter ZIP+ XTRA™ (SKU: 11T242) represents the pinnacle of abrasive cut-off wheel technology, designed specifically for industrial professionals who demand longevity and safety. Measuring 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a precise 1/16-inch thickness, this wheel is engineered to tackle the toughest cutting applications in steel and stainless steel fabrication. What sets the ZIP+ XTRA apart is its heavily reinforced construction, which not only extends the life of the wheel significantly beyond standard abrasives but also provides an added layer of safety for the operator. In high-torque situations where other wheels might flex or shatter, the ZIP+ XTRA maintains its structural integrity, ensuring a straight, safe cut every time.

One of the standout features of this product is Walter's patented rib design located on the face of the wheel. These raised ribs serve a critical function: they reduce the surface area in contact with the workpiece during the cut. This reduction in friction translates directly to cooler cutting temperatures. For fabricators working with stainless steel, this is a game-changer, as it drastically reduces the risk of heat discoloration and warping, thereby eliminating the need for time-consuming secondary finishing processes. The wheel cuts freer and faster, allowing the abrasive grains to self-sharpen and maintain peak performance throughout the life of the disc.

Cost efficiency is a major driver for the ZIP+ XTRA. While it is a premium product, it delivers the lowest cost per cut in the industry. The extended lifespan means fewer wheel changes, less downtime, and reduced inventory consumption over time. Whether you are cutting structural steel, sheet metal, or non-ferrous alloys like aluminum, this wheel provides consistent, high-performance results. It is the ideal choice for MRO environments, heavy fabrication shops, and construction sites where reliability and speed are paramount.

The 11T242 comes in a package of 25, ensuring you have ample supply for large projects. By combining advanced resin formulations with high-quality abrasive grains and structural reinforcement, Walter Surface Technologies has created a wheel that doesn't just cut material—it cuts costs and production time.
