OVERVIEW

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.

FAQ

The ZIP XX features premium ceramic grains and SMART RESIN™ technology, offering faster cutting speeds and significantly longer life compared to the standard zirconia or aluminum oxide blends found in regular ZIP wheels.

While ceramic grains are hard enough to cut aluminum, this wheel is optimized for steel and stainless steel. Cutting aluminum may cause the wheel to load (clog) due to the soft nature of the metal. A dedicated aluminum cutting wheel is recommended.

SMART RESIN is a proprietary bonding matrix developed by Walter. It holds the abrasive grains in place until they dull, then releases them to expose fresh, sharp grains, ensuring the wheel always cuts at maximum efficiency.

The 11X272 is a Type 1 wheel, which means it is flat. This profile is ideal for deep, vertical cutting applications.

This wheel is designed for 7-inch angle grinders with a 7/8" arbor. Ensure your grinder's RPM rating matches or exceeds the wheel's rating.

This wheel is 5/64" thick, which provides a good balance between a fast cut and the rigidity needed for a large 7-inch diameter wheel.

Yes, Walter ZIP wheels are generally contaminant-free (Fe, S, Cl < 0.1%), making them safe for use on stainless steel without causing corrosion or contamination.
