11T142 - Walter ZIPCUT 4-1/2 Inch Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel, 25-Pack

Precision Engineering for Industrial Cutting

The Walter ZIPCUT 11T142 sets the standard for performance in the abrasive cutting industry. Designed with the professional fabricator in mind, this 4-1/2 inch cut-off wheel utilizes a Type 27 depressed center geometry. Unlike standard flat (Type 1) wheels, the Type 27 profile allows the locking nut to sit recessed within the wheel, enabling operators to perform flush cuts against workpieces without interference. This structural advantage makes it an indispensable tool for removing bolt heads, trimming overhangs, and working in tight, restricted spaces where precision is paramount.

At the core of the ZIPCUT's performance is Walter's exclusive technology. The wheel features an integrated rib design on its surface, which significantly reduces friction during operation. Less friction means less heat generation, preserving the metallurgical integrity of sensitive materials like stainless steel and preventing heat discoloration or warping. The 3/64-inch (.045") thickness is engineered to remove minimal material, resulting in faster cutting speeds and reduced energy consumption from the power tool. This "freer cutting" action reduces load on the angle grinder, extending the life of both the abrasive and the machine.

Safety is a critical component of the ZIPCUT design. These wheels are heavily reinforced to resist the twisting and bending forces that often cause inferior wheels to shatter. This rigidity not only protects the operator but also ensures a perfectly straight cut every time. Whether working with cast iron, sheet metal, structural steel, or stainless steel, the 11T142 delivers consistent, reliable results. With a package quantity of 25, this product offers excellent inventory management for high-volume shops looking to lower their overall cost-per-cut through superior durability and speed.
