11T162 - Walter ZIPCUT 6" x 3/64" x 7/8" Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel (25-Pack)

Maximum Performance with Walter ZIPCUT Type 27

The Walter 11T162 ZIPCUT™ is widely recognized as one of the highest performing cut-off wheels available in the industrial marketplace today. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 6-inch wheel features a thickness of just 3/64 inches and a 7/8-inch arbor, specifically designed to deliver the fastest, coolest, and freest cuts possible. The "Type 27" configuration, characterized by a depressed center, allows operators to perform flush cutting operations without the mounting hardware interfering with the workpiece, making it an essential tool for metal fabrication and structural work.

At the core of the ZIPCUT's performance is its heavily reinforced construction. Safety is paramount in abrasive cutting, and Walter has integrated a robust reinforcement matrix that significantly resists twisting and bending during operation. This structural integrity ensures a true, straight cut every time, reducing material waste and the need for secondary rework. Furthermore, the integrated rib design on the wheel's surface reduces surface contact friction, which in turn lowers the heat generation during the cut. This "cooler cutting" action preserves the metallurgical integrity of the material being cut, preventing discoloration and warping, especially in heat-sensitive metals like stainless steel.

Cost efficiency is another critical advantage of the 11T162. While providing premium cutting speed, the wheel is also designed for longevity. The unique formulation of the abrasive grain and bond system ensures that the wheel maintains its cutting edge longer than standard wheels, resulting in the lowest cost-per-cut in the industry. For MRO professionals and procurement managers, this translates to reduced inventory turnover and less downtime spent changing out worn wheels. This pack contains 25 wheels, ensuring your shop is stocked for high-volume applications.

Applications for this wheel are extensive, covering everything from heavy-duty structural steel cutting to precise sheet metal work. It excels in cutting stainless steel and steel, providing a burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for deburring. Whether used in a manufacturing plant, a shipyard, or a general fabrication shop, the Walter ZIPCUT Type 27 stands as the benchmark for quality and performance in abrasive cutting solutions.
