OVERVIEW

Experience the Walter Difference on Stainless Steel

When you are welding and fabricating stainless steel, the quality of your prep work defines the quality of your final product. The Walter ZIP Stainless 6" x 3/64" Type 27 Cut-Off Wheel is built for welders who refuse to compromise on speed or safety. This 5-pack (11F162V) delivers the legendary performance of the ZIP family, specifically tuned for the unique hardness and heat sensitivity of stainless steel. Whether you are slicing through 304 tubing or trimming 316 plate, these wheels help you get the job done faster and cleaner.

Engineered for Performance

Stainless steel is tough, but the ZIP Stainless is tougher. The abrasive grain and bonding matrix are optimized to cut aggressively without glazing over. The ultra-thin 3/64" kerf slices through metal like butter, reducing the load on your angle grinder and minimizing operator fatigue. Because the wheel cuts so freely, you don't need to apply heavy pressure, which allows for greater control and precision. This is the wheel you reach for when you need a straight, accurate cut with minimal effort.

Protect Your Stainless

Nothing ruins a stainless project faster than rust spots appearing weeks later due to contamination. Walter has formulated these wheels to be completely free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine. This "Fe-S-Cl Free" guarantee means you can use these wheels on high-grade alloys without fear of introducing contaminants that cause corrosion. It is the professional choice for sanitary welding environments and architectural metalwork where finish quality is paramount.

Durability and Safety

Safety is built into the core of every Walter product. The ZIP Stainless wheel features heavy-duty reinforcement to withstand the centrifugal forces of high-speed grinders (rated up to 10,200 RPM). The Type 27 shape adds structural stability to the wheel hub, reducing wobble and vibration. This stability not only makes the wheel safer to use but also extends its lifespan, giving you more cuts per wheel compared to cheaper alternatives. Upgrade your abrasive arsenal with the ZIP Stainless and feel the difference in every cut.

FAQ

A Type 27 wheel has a depressed center, which allows the locking nut to be recessed. This permits flush cutting against surfaces and provides greater rigidity to the wheel hub compared to flat Type 1 wheels.

Yes, the ZIP Stainless wheel is formulated to be free of Iron, Sulfur, and Chlorine (Fe-S-Cl < 0.1%), making it safe for use on food-grade stainless steel without causing contamination or corrosion.

This wheel is 3/64 inch thick, which is approximately 0.045 inches. This ultra-thin profile allows for very fast cutting with minimal material loss.

Yes, you can use it on mild steel, but it is specially formulated for stainless steel. Using it on mild steel may result in faster wear compared to wheels designed specifically for general purpose steel.

The maximum safe operating speed for this 6-inch Walter ZIP wheel is typically rated around 10,200 RPM. Always check the label on the actual wheel to confirm before use.

No, this is a Type 27 reinforced cut-off wheel that mounts directly to the angle grinder using the standard flange and locking nut. No flexible backing pad is required.

The SKU 11F162V represents a package containing 5 individual cutting wheels.
