OVERVIEW

The Ultimate Wheel for Thin Metal Fabrication

Take your cutting game to the next level with the Walter ZIP ONE 6" Cutting Wheel. If you work with thin gauge steel or stainless steel, you know the frustration of warped metal, jagged edges, and heat discoloration. The ZIP ONE solves these problems with its ultra-thin 1/32" profile, designed to slice through metal with incredible speed and precision. This 5-pack of Type 27 wheels gives you the stability and performance you need to tackle delicate jobs with confidence.

What sets the ZIP ONE apart is its ability to cut cool. Friction creates heat, but the ZIP ONE's advanced abrasive formulation and thin design reduce resistance, allowing the wheel to glide through the material. This means you get a clean, burr-free cut every time, saving you the hassle of grinding down edges afterwards. Whether you are modifying a car fender, building a custom exhaust, or fabricating a stainless steel countertop, this wheel ensures your work looks professional and stays true to size.

Safety is built right in. The depressed center (Type 27) design provides extra hub strength, making the wheel safer to use at various angles compared to flat wheels. Plus, the vibration-free performance makes it easier to control your grinder, ensuring straight cuts even in tight spots. Upgrade your abrasive arsenal with the Walter ZIP ONE and experience the difference that quality engineering makes in your daily welding and fabrication projects.

Why Welders Choose ZIP ONE

FAQ

The Walter ZIP ONE 11T662V has a thickness of 1/32 inch, which is approximately 1mm. This ultra-thin design is optimized for speed and precision on thin metals.

While it is designed primarily for steel and stainless steel, Walter offers specific wheels for aluminum (like the ZIP ALU) to prevent clogging. For occasional cuts it may work, but it is best used on ferrous metals.

Type 27 refers to a depressed center wheel. The center hub is raised (or depressed from the face), which allows the locking nut to be recessed, permitting flush cutting and providing greater rigidity.

No, the ZIP ONE is a cutting wheel (cut-off wheel) only. It is too thin (1/32") for side-loading or grinding. Using it for grinding can be dangerous and cause wheel failure.

This product (SKU 11T662V) is sold as a package of 5 cutting wheels.

The ZIP ONE is engineered to cut very coolly, which significantly minimizes or eliminates heat discoloration (bluing) on stainless steel.

Standard 6-inch Type 27 wheels typically feature a 7/8" arbor, which fits most standard 6-inch angle grinders.

A 1/32" wheel removes less material, cuts faster, generates less heat, and causes less vibration. It is superior for thin materials where precision and low heat are critical.
