The Walter 11F142V ZIP Stainless cutting wheel represents a specialized solution within the high-performance abrasive category, specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of stainless steel and nickel alloy fabrication. This product is a Type 27 (depressed center) cutting wheel, measuring 4-1/2 inches in diameter with a 3/64-inch thickness and a standard 7/8-inch arbor. The Type 27 configuration provides a raised hub geometry, which allows the locking nut to be recessed. This design feature is critical for applications requiring flush cutting against a surface or when additional clearance is needed to prevent the grinder's mounting hardware from interfering with the workpiece.
Technically, the ZIP Stainless formulation is manufactured to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine (Fe, S, Cl < 0.1%). In industrial environments, particularly those involving food processing equipment, pharmaceutical tanks, or nuclear components, the purity of the abrasive is paramount. Using a standard wheel containing these elements can introduce contaminants into the stainless steel grain structure, leading to premature corrosion or stress cracking. Walter’s bonding technology ensures that this wheel cuts coolly and freely, preventing the heat buildup that causes heat-affected zones (HAZ) and discoloration in the metal.
The 3/64-inch (.045") thickness is optimized for minimal material removal (kerf), which translates to lower energy consumption by the power tool and faster through-put times. Despite its thinness, the wheel is reinforced with Walter's proprietary rib design, enhancing lateral stability and safety during operation. This 5-pack configuration (SKU 11F142V) offers a targeted inventory solution for maintenance departments and specialized fabrication cells requiring high-quality consumables without bulk stocking requirements. Rated for a maximum speed of 13,300 RPM, these wheels are compatible with standard 4-1/2" angle grinders.
