Walter ZIP ONE 5-Inch Type 27 Thin Cut-Off Wheel

The Professional's Choice for Clean Sheet Metal Work

When you are working with thin sheet metal, body panels, or ductwork, using a standard cutting wheel can feel like using a sledgehammer to drive a tack. It generates too much heat, vibrates the material, and leaves a jagged edge that takes forever to clean up. The Walter ZIP ONE 5" x 1/32" Type 27 Cutting Wheel is the solution for welders and fabricators who need speed, control, and a perfect finish on thin gauge materials. At just 1/32 of an inch thick, this wheel slices through steel and stainless steel with incredible ease, feeling more like a precision instrument than a grinding disc.

For auto body technicians and HVAC professionals, heat control is everything. A hot cut warps thin metal, ruining the fit of a panel or duct. The ZIP ONE cuts so fast and cool that the metal doesn't have time to overheat, saving you from the frustration of hammering out warps or sanding away heat tints. The cut is also exceptionally clean and burr-free. This means you can make your cut and start welding immediately, without wasting valuable time grinding down rough edges. It’s a massive time-saver for anyone doing custom fabrication or repair work.

Don't let the thin profile fool you—this wheel is tough. The Type 27 depressed center design gives the wheel extra backbone, making it rigid and stable on your grinder. It resists twisting and bending, giving you the confidence to make long, straight cuts or precise plunge cuts without the wheel wandering. Whether you are cutting out a rusted quarter panel, trimming stainless backsplash, or fitting exhaust tubing, the ZIP ONE 11T652 gives you the professional edge you need to get the job done right the first time.
