11T842V - Walter Combo Zip 4.5-Inch Cut and Grind Wheel 5-Pack

Maximize Efficiency with Walter Combo Zip Technology

The Walter 11T842V Combo Zip™ wheel represents a significant leap in abrasive technology, designed specifically to streamline metal fabrication workflows. In industrial environments where time is a critical resource, the ability to perform multiple operations with a single consumable can lead to substantial productivity gains. This 4-1/2 inch wheel is engineered with a unique 5/64-inch thickness, positioning it perfectly between a standard cutting wheel and a grinding disc. This dimension allows operators to cut through material with the speed and precision expected of the Zip family, while possessing the structural integrity required for light grinding and deburring tasks.

Safety is a paramount concern in any MRO or fabrication setting. The Combo Zip is constructed with heavy-duty reinforcement, making it safe for the side-load pressure applied during deburring—a practice that is dangerous with standard thin cut-off wheels. Furthermore, the wheel features a metal protective hub that adds rigidity and control, preventing the wheel from flexing unpredictably during use. This robust construction ensures compliance with safety standards while reducing the risk of wheel breakage, thereby protecting operators and reducing liability.

From a procurement perspective, the 11T842V offers excellent value. By combining two steps into one, shops can reduce their inventory complexity, stocking fewer distinct SKUs while maintaining operational capability. The extended lifespan of the Zip formulation means fewer wheel changes per shift, translating to lower total cost of ownership. This 5-pack configuration is ideal for tool crib distribution or smaller project requirements, ensuring that high-performance abrasives are always available when needed. Suitable for both steel and stainless steel, the Combo Zip is a versatile addition to any industrial supply inventory.
