11T044 - Walter ZIP XXTREME 4.5-Inch Cut-Off Wheel Type 1

Extreme Durability for Industrial Cutting

The Walter ZIP XXTREME™ 11T044 is a high-performance 4-1/2" cut-off wheel designed to redefine durability in industrial metalworking. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this wheel addresses the critical need for longevity in high-volume cutting environments. With a thickness of just 3/64", it maintains the fast, free-cutting characteristics of the legendary ZIP family while incorporating advanced bonding technology that extends wheel life by up to 20% compared to standard thin cut-off wheels.

This Type 1 (flat) wheel features a 7/8" arbor, making it compatible with standard angle grinders. The proprietary grain blend and reinforced structure allow the ZIP XXTREME to cut through heavy-gauge steel and stainless steel with exceptional stability. By resisting flexing and twisting, the wheel ensures straight, precise cuts that reduce material waste and secondary finishing requirements. For procurement managers and safety officers, the 11T044 represents a strategic investment: fewer wheel changes mean reduced downtime and lower inventory turnover, ultimately delivering the lowest cost per cut in its class.

Safety and performance go hand-in-hand with the ZIP XXTREME. The wheel is heavily reinforced to withstand the rigors of aggressive cutting without compromising safety. It is manufactured to the highest quality standards, ensuring consistent performance from the first cut to the last. Whether working on structural steel fabrication, pipeline construction, or general maintenance, the 11T044 provides the reliability required for critical tasks.
