11T064 - Walter ZIP XXTREME 6-Inch High Performance Cut-Off Wheel

Unmatched Durability in Thin Cut-Off Technology

The Walter ZIP XXTREME™ 6" x 3/64" x 7/8" Cut-Off Wheel (SKU: 11T064) represents the pinnacle of abrasive engineering, designed specifically for industrial environments where efficiency and cost-control are paramount. Walter Surface Technologies has long been a leader in the abrasive market, and the ZIP XXTREME™ series solidifies this reputation by pushing the boundaries of what a thin cut-off wheel can achieve. Engineered with a proprietary grain blend and advanced bonding technology, this wheel addresses the common trade-off between cutting speed and wheel life. Typically, thinner wheels sacrifice longevity for precision; however, the ZIP XXTREME™ defies this convention by offering the longest lifespan in the 3/64" category.

For procurement managers and operations directors, the value proposition of the 11T064 is clear: it delivers the lowest cost per cut in the industry. By lasting up to 20% longer than competing wheels in its class, it directly reduces consumable spend. Furthermore, the extended life translates to fewer wheel changes per shift, which cumulatively recovers significant man-hours previously lost to downtime. This wheel is rigorously tested to perform consistently on both carbon steel and stainless steel, making it a versatile inventory item that simplifies stock requirements for diverse fabrication projects.

Technically, the 6-inch diameter provides a critical advantage over standard 4.5-inch or 5-inch wheels by offering increased cutting depth and peripheral speed, which enhances the cutting action. The 3/64-inch thickness ensures minimal material loss and reduced heat generation, preserving the metallurgical integrity of the workpiece. This is particularly critical when working with stainless steel, where heat buildup can lead to discoloration or warping. The wheel features a standard 7/8" arbor, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of industrial 6-inch angle grinders. By integrating the ZIP XXTREME™ into your production line, you are investing in a consumable that optimizes both the mechanical process of cutting and the economic efficiency of your operation.
