OVERVIEW

Stop Overheating Your Titanium

If you have ever tried cutting titanium with a regular zip wheel, you know the struggle: the metal gets too hot, turns blue, and the wheel gums up instantly. The Walter ZIP TiTAN™ (11H042) is the solution to that headache. It is built specifically for the metals that other wheels can't handle—titanium and brass. This wheel cuts cool and clean, meaning you don't have to worry about ruining an expensive piece of pipe or plate with heat marks.

Cuts Brass Without Clogging

Brass is soft and gummy, which usually means your cutting wheel gets clogged (loaded) with metal shavings after just a few inches of cutting. Once a wheel is loaded, it stops cutting and starts burning. The ZIP TiTAN™ uses a special blend of abrasive grains that sheds that gummy material, keeping the cutting edge sharp and fresh. You get a smooth slice all the way through without having to constantly change out glazed wheels.

Get More Done with Less Waste

At just 3/64" thick, this wheel removes very little material. When you are cutting expensive alloys, every ounce of dust on the floor is money lost. The thin profile also means the grinder doesn't have to work as hard, so you can move through the cut faster. It fits your standard 4-1/2" grinder with a 7/8" arbor, so you don't need special tools—just the right wheel for the job.

Why Choose Walter ZIP TiTAN?

Walter is known for making some of the longest-lasting abrasives in the game. The ZIP TiTAN™ is no exception. It is designed to give you more cuts per wheel, saving you time on wheel changes and money on consumables. Whether you are in a shipyard, an aerospace shop, or a custom fab garage, keeping a box of these on hand ensures you are ready for the exotic jobs that walk through the door.

FAQ

The ZIP TiTAN is specifically engineered for cutting titanium and brass. Its formulation prevents clogging and overheating on these specific metals.

While it can physically cut stainless steel, it is optimized for titanium and brass. For stainless steel, Walter's ZIP Stainless or standard ZIP wheels would be more cost-effective and efficient.

The 3/64" ultra-thin profile removes less material, resulting in faster cuts, less heat generation, and less waste of expensive exotic metals.

Yes, the ZIP TiTAN is designed to cut cool, which significantly reduces heat buildup and prevents heat tinting or discoloration on sensitive titanium alloys.

This wheel has a standard 7/8" arbor, making it compatible with most 4-1/2" and 5" angle grinders.

Brass is a soft, non-ferrous metal that tends to melt and adhere to abrasive grains (loading). The ZIP TiTAN uses a formulation that resists this loading to keep cutting freely.

The 11H042 is typically a Type 1 (flat) cutting wheel, which is ideal for deep cutting and perpendicular slicing.

The maximum safe operating speed is 13,300 RPM. Always ensure your grinder does not exceed this rating.
