Walter ZIP ALU™ 5" x 3/64" Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel (Pack of 5)

Finally, a Wheel That Doesn't Gum Up

If you have ever tried to cut aluminum with a standard abrasive wheel, you know the frustration. One minute you are cutting, and the next, the wheel feels like it's sliding over the metal without doing anything. That is because the aluminum has melted and clogged up the grit. It slows you down, heats up your workpiece, and can even be dangerous if the wheel binds. The Walter ZIP ALU™ is the answer to that headache. It is built specifically to slice through aluminum like butter, without the gumming and clogging that kills other wheels.

This 5-inch wheel features a Type 27 depressed center, which is a favorite among many fabricators for the extra stability it provides. The shape allows the locking nut to sit recessed, meaning you can get the wheel flush against a surface to cut off bolts or trim material without the grinder body getting in the way. At 3/64" thick, it is thin enough to cut incredibly fast but tough enough to handle the high RPMs of your angle grinder without wobbling.

Using the ZIP ALU™ means cleaner cuts with fewer burrs. Because the wheel cuts cool and stays sharp, you aren't forcing the grinder, which saves your arms from fatigue and keeps your tool running longer. Whether you are building aluminum trailers, repairing boat hulls, or doing custom fabrication work, this wheel keeps you moving. You get a smooth, consistent cut right down to the nub, saving you money on consumables and time on the job. Stop fighting your grinder and let the ZIP ALU™ do the work.
