11X272 - Walter ZIP XX 7-Inch Ceramic Cut-Off Wheel Type 1

Maximize Industrial Efficiency with Walter ZIP XX Technology

The Walter ZIP™ XX (11X272) represents the pinnacle of performance in the 7-inch cut-off wheel category. Designed specifically for industrial environments where throughput and safety are paramount, this wheel integrates Walter's exclusive SMART RESIN™ technology with high-density ceramic grains. This combination allows the wheel to maintain a consistent cutting edge by exposing fresh abrasive grains exactly when needed, preventing glazing and reducing thermal buildup.

For fabrication shops and MRO departments, the ZIP XX offers a tangible return on investment. By delivering a lifespan that is at least 30% longer than competitive ceramic wheels, it drastically reduces the frequency of wheel changes. Fewer changes mean less downtime and higher daily output per operator. Furthermore, the 100% self-sharpening ceramic structure cuts through hardened metals, including stainless steel and cast iron, with exceptional speed—clocked at 10% faster than traditional aluminum oxide alternatives.

Safety is never compromised for speed. The ZIP XX is heavily reinforced to withstand the lateral stresses of heavy-duty cutting, ensuring operator protection. Whether you are processing structural steel or precision stainless components, the 11X272 provides the reliability required for critical applications.

Key Industrial Benefits

• Cost Reduction: Extended wheel life lowers total abrasive spend and reduces procurement frequency.
• Operational Speed: Faster cut rates improve overall plant productivity.
• Material Versatility: Engineered to perform equally well on carbon steel and stainless steel alloys.
