11T272 - Walter ZIP+ Type 27 Heavy Duty Cut-Off Wheel 7-Inch

Heavy-Duty Cutting Performance with Walter ZIP+

The Walter 11T272 ZIP+ Cut-Off Wheel represents the pinnacle of safety and durability in the 7-inch abrasive category. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, this wheel is part of the renowned ZIP family but is engineered specifically for heavy-duty applications where standard thin wheels might compromise safety. With a thickness of 5/64 inches, the ZIP+ provides that critical extra structural integrity needed when working with heavy gauge steel, cast iron, or stainless steel, yet it retains the fast-cutting characteristics professionals expect from the brand.

One of the standout features of this wheel is its Type 27 depressed center configuration. Unlike flat Type 1 wheels, the Type 27 shape allows the locking nut to be recessed, enabling flush cutting against surfaces and providing greater rigidity during operation. This makes the 11T272 an excellent choice for fabrication shops dealing with structural steel or uneven surfaces where the wheel might be subjected to lateral stress. The wheel is reinforced to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, ensuring that it doesn't just cut fast, but lasts longer than competitive wheels, ultimately lowering your cost per cut.

Walter has integrated their patented rib design into the surface of the ZIP+ wheel. These raised ribs reduce the surface contact area between the side of the wheel and the workpiece, which significantly lowers friction and heat generation. Cooler cutting means the abrasive grains stay sharp longer and the metal doesn't discolor or warp as easily. Whether you are cutting sheet metal, tubing, or solid bar stock, the Walter ZIP+ 11T272 delivers a premium cutting experience that balances speed, life, and operator safety perfectly.
