11F052V - Walter ZIP Stainless 5-Inch Cut-Off Wheel 5-Pack

Technical Precision with Walter ZIP Stainless

The Walter ZIP Stainless (11F052V) is a high-performance cutting wheel engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of stainless steel and nickel alloy fabrication. In industrial environments where material integrity is paramount, using the correct abrasive is critical. This wheel is manufactured to be completely free of Iron (Fe), Sulfur (S), and Chlorine (Cl), with content levels guaranteed below 0.1%. This formulation is essential for preventing cross-contamination, which can lead to premature corrosion or rust spots on the finished stainless steel workpiece.

Measuring 5 inches in diameter with an ultra-thin 3/64-inch thickness, this wheel is designed to minimize the contact surface area. This reduction in friction translates directly to lower heat generation during the cutting process. By keeping the workpiece cooler, the ZIP Stainless significantly reduces the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), thereby preventing discoloration and warping, particularly on thin-gauge sheets. The 7/8-inch arbor fits standard angle grinders, ensuring compatibility with existing shop tooling.

Structurally, the wheel is reinforced to withstand the lateral forces and high RPMs associated with industrial cutting, providing a safe and stable cutting experience. The abrasive grain is optimized to self-sharpen, exposing fresh cutting edges continuously to maintain a consistent cut rate throughout the life of the wheel. This 5-pack configuration (11F052V) is ideal for maintenance teams, small fabrication shops, or mobile welding rigs requiring premium performance in a manageable quantity.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Contamination Control: Fe-S-Cl free formulation protects the passive layer of stainless steel.
• Thermal Management: Thin profile dissipates heat effectively, preserving metallurgical structure.
• Efficiency: Fast cutting speed reduces operator fatigue and energy consumption.
