11T042 - Walter ZIPCUT 4-1/2" x .045" x 7/8" Cut-Off Wheel Type 1 (Pack of 25)

Premium Cutting Performance with Walter ZIPCUT

The Walter ZIPCUT 11T042 is widely recognized as one of the highest-performing cut-off wheels available in the industrial market today. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 4-1/2 inch wheel sets the standard for efficiency, safety, and precision in metal fabrication. Designed with a thickness of just 3/64 inches (often referred to as .045), the ZIPCUT minimizes friction and heat generation, allowing for significantly faster cuts compared to standard wheels. This thin profile removes less material, which translates to less dust, fewer sparks, and reduced energy consumption from your power tools.

One of the standout features of the ZIPCUT series is its heavy reinforcement. Safety is a paramount concern in abrasive cutting, and Walter has addressed this by constructing a wheel that resists twisting and bending even under heavy load. This structural integrity ensures that the wheel maintains a true, straight cut every time, reducing the risk of shattering and improving overall worker safety. The patented rib design on the surface of the wheel further reduces friction and improves cooling, preventing the workpiece from overheating and discoloring, which is particularly critical when working with stainless steel.

The 11T042 is formulated with a specific A-60-ZIP grit blend, optimized for cutting both steel and stainless steel (INOX). This versatility makes it an essential consumable for workshops that handle a variety of metals. Whether you are cutting structural steel, sheet metal, or cast iron, the ZIPCUT delivers a clean, burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for secondary deburring operations. This efficiency directly impacts your bottom line by lowering the total cost-per-cut, making it a smart investment for high-volume production environments.

Packaged in Walter's exclusive protective packaging, these wheels are shielded from moisture and physical damage during storage and transport, ensuring that every wheel performs as if it were fresh off the production line. With a 7/8-inch arbor, this Type 1 flat wheel fits most standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders. Experience the difference of a wheel that cuts freer, faster, and cooler, keeping your operations running smoothly and your welders safe.
