OVERVIEW

Maximize Productivity with Walter ZIP XX Technology

Experience the next evolution in abrasive cutting with the Walter ZIP XX Cut-Off Wheel (11X242). Designed for professionals who demand efficiency and safety, this 4-1/2 inch wheel integrates Walter's revolutionary SMART RESIN™ technology. Unlike traditional wheels that can glaze over or wear unevenly, the ZIP XX is engineered to expose fresh, sharp ceramic grains at the precise moment they are needed. This intelligent wear mechanism ensures that the wheel maintains its aggressive cutting speed from the first spark to the very last cut.

Time is money in any industrial setting, and the ZIP XX delivers tangible savings. By cutting up to 10% faster than high-quality aluminum oxide wheels and lasting at least 30% longer than competitive ceramic options, this wheel reduces the frequency of wheel changes. Fewer change-outs mean less downtime and more time spent on fabrication. Whether you are working in a high-volume production environment or a custom fabrication shop, the ZIP XX helps you lower your overall abrasive costs while boosting throughput.

Safety and comfort are paramount in the design of the ZIP XX. The self-sharpening ceramic grain blend provides a smoother, vibration-free cutting experience, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Reinforced with premium materials, this Type 1 wheel is built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty cutting while exceeding the strictest industry safety standards. It is the ultimate tool for cutting steel and stainless steel with precision and confidence.

Key Benefits

  • Superior Longevity: Outlasts competitors by over 30%, reducing inventory costs.
  • Intelligent Design: SMART RESIN™ optimizes grain exposure for consistent performance.
  • Enhanced Safety: Heavily reinforced structure ensures stability at high RPMs.

FAQ

SMART RESIN is a proprietary bonding technology by Walter that exposes fresh ceramic grains at the optimal rate, balancing wheel life with cutting speed to prevent glazing.

This wheel is optimized for cutting both steel and stainless steel.

The maximum safe operating speed is 13,300 RPM.

The 11X242 is a Type 1 (flat) cut-off wheel.

Ceramic grains are harder and self-sharpening, allowing them to cut faster and last significantly longer than standard aluminum oxide wheels.

No, this is a 1/16" thick cut-off wheel designed for cutting only. Do not use for side grinding.

It features a standard 7/8" arbor hole.

While specific chemical analysis isn't provided in the brief, Walter high-performance wheels for stainless steel are typically free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine contaminants to prevent corrosion.
