OVERVIEW

The Welder's Choice for Precision Cutting

When you are prepping a joint or cutting stock for a fabrication project, accuracy and safety are paramount. The Walter ZIPCUT™ 7" Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel (11T172) delivers on both fronts. Known among welders as the highest performing wheel on the market, the ZIPCUT allows for true, straight cuts every time. Its extra-thin 1/16" construction removes less material, which means less dust, less noise, and a faster cut that gets you back to welding sooner.

One of the biggest challenges in cutting stainless steel is heat discoloration. The ZIPCUT addresses this with a unique formulation and rib design that cuts exceptionally cool, preserving the integrity of your base metal. This is critical for welders working on high-visibility stainless projects where finish quality matters. The wheel is also heavily reinforced, providing peace of mind against shattering even under the stress of tough cutting angles.

This pack of 25 wheels ensures you have the consumables you need to keep your shop running smoothly. Whether you are cutting sheet metal, cast iron, or heavy structural steel, the Walter ZIPCUT 11T172 provides the consistent, aggressive bite you need to power through the job. Upgrade your grinder with the wheel that sets the industry standard for performance and safety.

FAQ

Type 1 wheels (like this 11T172) are completely flat, which is ideal for deep cuts and cutting 90-degrees to the surface. Type 27 wheels have a depressed center hub, which allows for flush cutting but limits the depth of cut slightly.

While the ZIPCUT can cut aluminum, Walter manufactures specific ZIP ALU wheels designed to prevent clogging when cutting non-ferrous soft metals. For best results on aluminum, use the dedicated aluminum version.

The maximum speed for this 7" ZIPCUT wheel is typically rated at 8,600 RPM. Always check the label on the wheel itself to ensure your grinder does not exceed this speed.

The integrated ribs on the surface of the wheel reduce the contact area between the side of the wheel and the material. This reduces friction and heat buildup, resulting in a cooler, freer cut.

Yes, the ZIPCUT is excellent for stainless steel. It is formulated to cut cool, which helps prevent heat tinting and discoloration on the stainless surface.

This item (11T172) is sold as a pack of 25 wheels.
