Walter ZIP ALU 4.5 Inch Type 27 Aluminum Cutting Wheel 5-Pack

Cut Aluminum Without the Headache

If you have ever tried to cut aluminum with a standard cutting wheel, you know the frustration. One minute you are cutting, and the next, your wheel feels like it's sliding over the metal instead of slicing through it. That is called "loading," where the aluminum gets hot, melts, and gums up your wheel. It kills your productivity and ruins your consumables. Enter the Walter ZIP ALU™. This isn't just another cutting wheel; it is a problem-solver designed specifically for the unique challenges of aluminum and non-ferrous metals.

The secret is in the blend. Walter has engineered these wheels to cut cool and fast, preventing the metal from sticking to the abrasive. This means you get a clean, consistent cut from the first spark to the nub. Because it doesn't clog, you don't have to push as hard, which keeps you safer and stops your grinder from bogging down. The Type 27 depressed center design is a favorite among pipe welders and fabricators because it allows you to get flush against the workpiece. Whether you are trimming a casting, cutting aluminum diamond plate, or prepping a joint for TIG welding, this wheel gives you the control you need.

At just 3/64" thick, the ZIP ALU™ removes minimal material. Why does that matter? Less material removed means less dust, less noise, and most importantly, less heat. Heat is the enemy when working with aluminum, and this thin profile keeps things cool. This pack contains 5 wheels, making it a perfect grab-and-go option for your truck or toolbox. You stop wasting time changing out glazed wheels and start getting more cuts per dollar.

Don't settle for using a steel wheel on aluminum—it's dangerous and inefficient. Upgrade to the ZIP ALU™ and feel the difference of a tool made for the job. It cuts through aluminum, copper, and brass like butter, leaving a clean edge that requires minimal deburring before you lay down your bead. It’s the professional choice for a reason.
