11L415 - Walter ZIP 4-Inch Cut-Off Wheel 1/16 Thickness (Pack of 25)

High-Performance Cutting with Walter ZIP™ Wheels

The Walter 11L415 ZIP™ Cut-Off Wheel is a premium abrasive solution designed for professionals who demand speed, safety, and longevity in their metalworking consumables. Measuring 4 inches in diameter with a 1/16-inch thickness and a 5/8-inch arbor, this wheel is specifically engineered for use with straight shaft grinders and die grinders. Manufactured in Germany, the ZIP™ family of wheels is recognized in the industry for setting the standard in thin cut-off wheel performance.

One of the primary challenges in cutting stainless steel is heat generation, which can lead to discoloration and warping. Walter has addressed this by formulating the ZIP™ wheel with special materials that dissipate heat effectively, ensuring a cool cut every time. This feature not only protects the integrity of the workpiece but also extends the life of the wheel itself, reducing the frequency of wheel changes and downtime. The wheel is heavily reinforced to withstand the stresses of high-speed cutting, providing a safe and smooth operation that minimizes vibration and operator fatigue.

While primarily a cut-off tool, the ZIP™ wheel's robust construction allows for versatility in metal fabrication shops. It excels at slicing through both mild steel and stainless steel with ease. The 1/16" thickness is the optimal balance for these smaller diameter wheels, offering enough rigidity for straight cuts while being thin enough to remove minimal material, resulting in cleaner cuts and less waste. This pack contains 25 wheels, ensuring you have ample supply for continuous production environments.

Key Applications

These wheels are best utilized in industries requiring precision metal cutting, such as automotive repair, custom fabrication, and industrial maintenance. They are particularly effective for cutting tubing, small solid bars, and sheet metal where a larger angle grinder cannot reach.
