Walter ZIP Stainless 4.5-Inch Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel (5-Pack)

Precision Cutting for Stainless Steel Fabricators

As a welder, you know that stainless steel is an unforgiving material. It holds heat, it hardens if you work it too slow, and it shows every imperfection. The Walter ZIP Stainless Type 27 cutting wheel is designed to solve these exact problems. This 5-pack of 4-1/2" wheels gives you the legendary performance of the "Zipcut" family but with a depressed center shape that changes how you can approach a cut. Unlike flat Type 1 wheels, this Type 27 wheel allows the locking nut to sit inside the wheel's center, letting you get right up against a wall or flush cut a bolt without your grinder scratching the surface.

One of the biggest headaches in stainless fabrication is contamination. If you use a cheap wheel, you might be grinding iron or sulfur right into your expensive stainless sheet, which leads to rust spots later—and angry customers. These Walter wheels are guaranteed contaminant-free, meaning they won't compromise the corrosion resistance of your material. They cut incredibly fast and cool, which is vital for preventing heat discoloration (blueing) near your weld zone. Less heat means less warping and less time spent polishing out heat tints.

The 3/64" thickness is the sweet spot: thin enough to slice through 304 or 316 stainless like butter, but rigid enough to hold a straight line. The patented rib design on the side of the wheel adds stiffness, so the wheel doesn't wobble or flex dangerously when you apply pressure. Whether you are cutting tubing, trimming sheet metal, or notching angle iron, these wheels help you get a fit-up that makes welding easier. This convenient 5-pack is perfect for your truck or toolbox, ensuring you always have premium cutting power when the job demands perfection.
