OVERVIEW

Premium Stainless Steel Cutting Performance

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.

FAQ

Fe-S-Cl free means the wheel contains less than 0.1% of Iron, Sulfur, and Chlorine. This is crucial for stainless steel applications to prevent contamination that could lead to corrosion or rust.

Yes, you can use the ZIP Stainless on mild steel, but it is specifically formulated for stainless steel to maximize performance and prevent contamination. Using it on mild steel is safe but may not be the most cost-effective use of a specialized stainless wheel.

The 11F042 wheel has a thickness of 3/64 inches, or approximately .045 inches. This extra-thin profile allows for faster, cooler cuts with less material waste.

This is a Type 1 wheel, which means it has a flat profile. It is designed for cutting only and should not be used for grinding or side-loading.

Stainless steel conducts heat poorly, so heat builds up quickly during cutting. Cool cutting wheels prevent heat discoloration (bluing) and warping, preserving the metal's appearance and properties.

The Walter 11F042 ZIP Stainless wheels are sold in a package of 25 units.

Always wear a face shield, safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection. Ensure the grinder guard is in place and the wheel is rated for the grinder's RPM.

The Walter ZIP Stainless 11F042 cutting wheels are manufactured in Italy.
