Walter ZIP ALU 5-Inch Type 27 Aluminum Cutting Wheel

Stop Clogging, Start Cutting

Anyone who has tried to cut aluminum with a standard grinding wheel knows the frustration: the wheel gums up almost immediately, the grinder kicks back, and you spend more time changing wheels than actually working. The Walter ZIP ALU™ 11U152 is the solution to this common fabrication headache. Designed specifically for aluminum and non-ferrous alloys, this 5-inch cutting wheel features a proprietary abrasive blend that refuses to clog. It cuts as aggressively at the end of its life as it does at the start, saving you time and frustration.

The Walter Zip Difference

Part of the legendary ZIP™ family of abrasives, the ZIP ALU™ delivers the same lightning-fast performance you expect from Walter, but tuned for soft metals. The ultra-thin 3/64" profile slices through material with minimal resistance, leaving a clean, burr-free finish that often requires no secondary rework. Because the wheel cuts so freely, it generates significantly less heat, protecting your workpiece from discoloration and warping. This is the ideal wheel for fabrication shops, trailer repair, and marine applications where aluminum is the primary material.

Built for Tough Jobs

The Type 27 depressed center shape gives this wheel extra backbone, making it durable enough to handle the rigors of daily shop use. Whether you are trimming aluminum plate, cutting pipe, or fabricating custom brackets, the 11U152 provides the stability and safety you need. Don't settle for general-purpose wheels that compromise your efficiency. Equip your 5-inch angle grinder with the Walter ZIP ALU™ and experience the difference a purpose-built tool makes. It’s not just a cutting wheel; it’s a productivity booster that pays for itself in time saved.
