11T503V - Walter Zip+ 5-inch Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel 5-Pack

Technical Overview: Walter Zip+ Type 27 Cutting Wheel

The Walter 11T503V is a specialized abrasive cutting wheel from the renowned Zip+ series, engineered to deliver superior performance in industrial metalworking applications. This 5-inch wheel features a thickness of 1/16 inch (.062") and a standard 7/8-inch arbor, making it compatible with most industrial angle grinders. The defining technical characteristic of the Zip+ line is its integrated rib design. These raised ribs on the surface of the wheel significantly increase lateral rigidity, reducing wheel flex during operation. This structural enhancement ensures that the wheel maintains a straight cutting path, even under the thermal and mechanical stress of heavy-duty fabrication.

Classified as a Type 27 (depressed center) wheel, the 11T503V offers distinct geometrical advantages over standard Type 1 flat wheels. The depressed center hub allows the locking nut to sit recessed, enabling the operator to perform flush cuts against perpendicular surfaces without interference. The abrasive matrix is formulated for versatility, rated for use on both carbon steel and stainless steel (INOX). It utilizes a high-grade grain structure that resists glazing and maintains a high cut rate throughout the wheel's life. This specific SKU is packaged as a convenient 5-pack, ideal for vending solutions or small-volume requirements.

Safety and durability are paramount in the Zip+ design. The reinforced construction meets strict safety standards, providing resistance to breakage while maintaining the aggressive cutting action required for structural steel, sheet metal, and tubing. The wheel is rated for a maximum speed of 12,200 RPM, aligning with standard 5-inch grinder specifications.
