The Walter ZIP STAINLESS™ 4-1/2" x 3/64" Cut-Off Wheel (SKU: 11F042) is engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial stainless steel fabrication. As part of the renowned ZIP product family, this abrasive wheel represents the pinnacle of cutting technology, offering a perfect balance of speed, safety, and longevity. Manufactured in Italy, these wheels are designed to meet the highest standards of quality required by professional fabricators and MRO specialists.
One of the critical challenges in working with stainless steel and nickel alloys is the risk of contamination. The ZIP Stainless wheel addresses this head-on with a formulation that is guaranteed free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine (Fe-S-Cl free). This purity is essential for industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and nuclear energy, where even trace amounts of contaminants can lead to rust or structural integrity issues down the line. By using the 11F042, you ensure the metallurgical integrity of your workpiece remains compromised.
Efficiency is key in any production environment. The extra-thin 3/64" (.045") profile of this Type 1 wheel removes less material, which translates to significantly less friction and heat generation. This "cool cutting" action is vital for stainless steel, as it prevents heat discoloration (bluing) and warping, thereby reducing the need for time-consuming post-weld cleaning or surface restoration. The wheel cuts freer and faster, allowing operators to complete tasks more quickly with less fatigue.
Sold in packs of 25, these wheels provide excellent value and consistency for high-volume shops. The reinforced construction ensures safety while delivering a burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for deburring. Whether cutting sheet metal, tubing, or structural sections, the Walter ZIP Stainless wheel delivers a clean, precise cut every time, making it an indispensable tool for professional metalworkers.
