11L405 - Walter ZIP 4-Inch x 1/32-Inch Cut-Off Wheel with 5/8-Inch Arbor

Precision Cutting with Walter ZIP Technology

The Walter 11L405 ZIP Cut-Off Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive cutting technology for professional fabrication. Engineered with a specific focus on performance and safety, this 4-inch wheel features an ultra-thin 1/32-inch profile. This reduced thickness is critical for minimizing the surface area in contact with the workpiece, thereby significantly reducing friction and heat generation during the cut. For metallurgists and fabricators working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, this cool-cutting action helps prevent the heat affected zone (HAZ) and discoloration, reducing the need for post-cut finishing.

Constructed with a heavily reinforced matrix, the ZIP wheel maintains structural integrity even under the high rotational speeds of angle grinders. The 5/8-inch arbor ensures compatibility with a wide range of standard 4-inch and 4-1/2-inch grinders. Walter Surface Technologies has formulated this wheel to be free of Iron, Sulfur, and Chlorine (Fe-S-Cl free), guaranteeing that it will not contaminate stainless steel surfaces, which is a vital requirement for nuclear, food, and pharmaceutical grade applications.

While the ZIP family includes various thicknesses for different tasks, this specific 1/32-inch variant is strictly designed for cutting (cutoff) operations. It delivers a smooth, vibration-free experience that enhances operator control and precision. The proprietary grain blend ensures that the wheel stays sharp throughout its life, providing a consistent cut rate from the first spark to the hub. Whether dealing with structural steel, sheet metal, or tubing, the 11L405 offers a superior balance of speed and longevity.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Thermal Management: Thin profile dissipates heat effectively to protect base material properties.
• Structural Integrity: Reinforced design resists twisting and bending forces during operation.
• Material Purity: Contaminant-free composition safe for high-grade alloys.
