11T252V - Walter ZIP+ 5-Inch Reinforced Cut-Off Wheel 5-Pack

High-Performance Reinforced Cutting Technology

The Walter ZIP+ Cut-Off Wheel (SKU: 11T252V) represents a significant evolution in abrasive cutting technology, designed to bridge the gap between standard thin cut-off wheels and thicker grinding discs. This 5-inch wheel features a thickness of 1/16 inch, which is slightly robust compared to ultra-thin slicers, providing the necessary durability for heavy-duty applications while maintaining excellent cutting speed. The defining feature of the ZIP+ series is the integrated rib design molded into the abrasive surface. These ribs serve a critical mechanical function: they reduce the lateral surface area in contact with the workpiece during deep cuts.

By minimizing surface contact, the ZIP+ generates significantly less friction heat than comparable flat wheels. This reduction in thermal buildup preserves the integrity of the abrasive grains, allowing them to stay sharp longer, and protects the workpiece from heat-induced discoloration or warping—a crucial factor when working with stainless steel. The ribs also act as structural reinforcements, adding lateral rigidity to the wheel. This stiffness prevents the wheel from wandering or flexing during aggressive cuts, ensuring straight, precise lines every time. This 5-pack configuration is ideal for industrial environments requiring consistent performance across multiple tasks.

Engineered for versatility, the ZIP+ is formulated to cut both carbon steel and stainless steel effectively. It fits standard 5-inch angle grinders with a 7/8-inch arbor and is rated for a maximum speed of 12,200 RPM. Whether you are cutting structural tubing, heavy plate, or piping, the ZIP+ offers a safer, cooler, and more controlled cutting experience.
