Walter ZIP XX 6-Inch Ceramic Cut-Off Wheel Type 1

Cut Faster, Last Longer, Stay Safer

For the professional welder, time is money, and safety is non-negotiable. The Walter ZIP™ XX 6" Cut-Off Wheel (11X262) is built to help you power through the toughest jobs without constantly stopping to swap out worn discs. If you are tired of wheels that bog down, glaze over, or disappear into dust after just a few cuts, the ZIP XX is the upgrade your angle grinder needs. This wheel utilizes a unique blend of self-sharpening ceramic grains that slice through metal with aggressive ease. Whether you are cutting structural steel or precision stainless tubing, you will feel the difference immediately—a smoother, faster cut that requires less pressure from you.

What sets the ZIP XX apart is Walter's innovative SMART RESIN™ technology. Think of it as a smart system for the wheel; it knows exactly when to let go of used abrasive grains to reveal fresh, sharp ones underneath. This means the wheel stays sharp right down to the hub, preventing that frustrating "rubbing" sensation that generates excess heat and turns your metal blue. Cooler cuts mean less rework and cleanup for you, preserving the integrity of the metal, especially on heat-sensitive stainless steel.

Durability is where the ZIP XX truly shines. It is engineered to last at least 30% longer than other ceramic wheels on the market. That means fewer trips to the tool crib and more time making sparks. The Type 1 flat design is perfect for deep, straight cuts, and the premium reinforcement ensures the wheel holds together safely under the stress of high-speed cutting. Rated for up to 10,200 RPM, this 1/16" thick wheel delivers the precision and speed you demand. Upgrade to the ZIP XX and experience a cut-off wheel that works as hard as you do.
