OVERVIEW

Get Into Tight Spots with Power

Every welder knows the frustration of a bad weld in a tight corner or a burr that needs to be removed from inside a pipe. Standard angle grinders are often too bulky for the job, and traditional mounted stones can wear down instantly or bounce around uncontrollably. The Walter ZIP Die Grinder Wheel (SKU 11L253) is your solution for heavy-duty grinding in hard-to-reach places. It takes the aggressive cutting power you expect from a full-sized Walter ZIP wheel and packs it into a compact 2-inch size.

Built for Performance
This isn't just a small stone; it's a reinforced grinding wheel built to eat metal. Whether you are prepping a root pass, cleaning up a jagged edge, or notching out a section for fit-up, this wheel holds its shape and keeps cutting. The 1/2-inch thickness gives you plenty of surface area for grinding down welds, while the 2-inch diameter allows you to maneuver inside channels, small diameter pipes, and complex assemblies.

Safe for Stainless
If you are working on food-grade stainless or nuclear-spec jobs, you can't afford contamination. This wheel is formulated specifically to be contaminant-free. You can switch between mild steel and stainless steel without worrying about embedding rust-causing particles into your workpiece. It runs cool, which helps prevent heat discoloration on your finished surfaces.

Smooth Operation
Die grinders spin fast—up to 30,000 RPM. An unbalanced wheel at that speed feels like holding a jackhammer. Walter balances these wheels perfectly so they run smooth and true. This means less vibration in your hands, less chatter on the metal, and a cleaner finish every time. Stop struggling with cheap stones that glaze over; upgrade to a ZIP wheel and feel the difference.
