11T262 - Walter ZIP+ XTRA 6-Inch Heavy Duty Cut-Off Wheel

Heavy-Duty Performance for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter ZIP+ XTRA (SKU: 11T262) represents the pinnacle of abrasive cut-off technology, specifically engineered for heavy-duty industrial environments. Measuring 6 inches in diameter with a precision 1/16-inch thickness and a standard 7/8-inch arbor, this wheel is designed to deliver the lowest cost per cut in its class. The proprietary formulation is optimized for both steel and stainless steel, ensuring versatility across various fabrication tasks.

Technically, the ZIP+ XTRA distinguishes itself with a patented rib design on the wheel surface. This structural innovation serves a dual purpose: it significantly reduces friction-induced heat buildup—preventing work hardening and discoloration of the base material—and it adds substantial rigidity to the wheel. The result is a cooler, straighter cut that maintains integrity even under aggressive load. Safety is paramount in the design; the wheel is heavily reinforced to withstand the lateral stresses often encountered in demanding MRO and construction applications.

For operations managers and procurement specialists, the 11T262 offers a compelling value proposition. Its extended lifespan reduces the frequency of wheel changes, thereby minimizing downtime and increasing overall throughput. Whether dealing with structural steel, sheet metal, or cast iron, the ZIP+ XTRA provides consistent, high-performance cutting metrics that meet the rigorous standards of modern manufacturing and maintenance sectors.
