Walter ZIP+ XTRA 4.5-Inch Heavy Duty Cut-Off Wheel

Heavy-Duty Cutting for Professional Welders

When you are on the shop floor or out in the field, you need a cut-off wheel that works as hard as you do. The Walter ZIP+ XTRA™ 4-1/2" x 1/16" (11T242) is built to be the longest-lasting wheel in your arsenal. Designed for use with standard angle grinders, this wheel is optimized for heavy-duty applications where standard thin wheels might wear out too quickly. The 1/16-inch thickness strikes the perfect balance between speed and durability, allowing for quick, clean slices through thick steel plate, stainless tubing, and even aluminum without the constant need to stop and replace the disc.

Heat is the enemy of any cutting tool, and the ZIP+ XTRA fights back with its innovative rib design. These ribs create air channels and reduce side friction, keeping the wheel and the metal cool. This is especially important when working on stainless steel, where overheating can ruin the corrosion resistance of the material or cause unsightly heat tinting. With the ZIP+ XTRA, you get a cool, free cut that requires less pressure from the operator. This means less fatigue for your arms and wrists at the end of a long shift, and more precise control over your grinder.

Safety is never an afterthought with Walter products. This wheel is heavily reinforced to withstand the twisting and lateral forces that can occur during aggressive cutting. It is rated for high-speed use and maintains its rigidity to prevent wandering, ensuring your cuts are straight and true. The versatility of the ZIP+ XTRA is also a key benefit; it is formulated to handle a wide range of materials including cast iron, sheet metal, and non-ferrous metals, making it a universal solution for diverse fabrication tasks.

Sold in packs of 25, the 11T242 is an essential consumable for any serious welder or fabricator. It eliminates the frustration of shattering wheels or rapid wear, letting you focus on the job at hand. Upgrade to the ZIP+ XTRA and experience the difference that premium engineering makes in your daily cutting operations.
