Walter ZIP Stainless 6-Inch Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel

Cut Faster, Run Cooler

When you are fabricating stainless steel, heat is the enemy. The Walter ZIP Stainless 6-Inch Type 27 Cutting Wheel (11F162) is your best defense against heat buildup and blueing. Designed specifically for welders who demand speed and quality, this wheel slices through stainless steel and tough alloys like butter. The secret lies in its extra-thin 3/64-inch design, which removes less material as it cuts. Less friction means less heat, and less heat means you spend less time cleaning up heat tints and more time welding.

What sets this wheel apart is its Type 27 depressed center shape. If you've ever struggled with a flat wheel flexing too much or the locking nut getting in the way of a flush cut, this design is the solution. It gives you the rigidity you need for straight, accurate cuts every time. Plus, it's manufactured to be completely free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine. You never have to worry about contaminating your stainless steel or causing rust spots down the road—perfect for high-end jobs where quality control is watching closely.

Walter's ZIP wheels are legendary in the industry for a reason: they last. You won't be swapping out wheels every ten minutes with the 11F162. It delivers a smooth, burr-free finish that often eliminates the need for deburring altogether. Whether you are cutting pipe, plate, or structural stainless, this wheel helps you get the job done faster and cleaner. Strap one on your 6-inch grinder and feel the difference a premium abrasive makes.
