OVERVIEW

Cut Aluminum Faster Without the Clog

Frustrated by cutting wheels that gum up when you're working with aluminum? The Walter ZIP ALU™ 4-1/2" Cut-Off Wheel is the answer. Engineered by the abrasive experts at Walter Surface Technologies, this wheel is built to tackle the unique properties of aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Unlike standard discs that load up and stop cutting, the ZIP ALU™ features a unique formulation that keeps the cutting face clean and sharp, letting you slice through material quickly and effortlessly.

This pack of 25 wheels (SKU: 11U042) ensures you have the stock you need for big jobs. The ultra-thin .045" design removes less material, which means faster cuts and less dust. Whether you are cutting aluminum sheets, extrusions, or piping, these wheels deliver a smooth finish that often requires little to no deburring. They are designed to run cool, preventing the overheating that can ruin your workpiece or cause dangerous wheel failure.

Don't settle for general-purpose wheels that slow you down. Upgrade to the ZIP ALU™ for your aluminum projects and experience the difference in speed and longevity. Compatible with your standard 4-1/2" angle grinder, these wheels are a must-have for any fabricator working with soft metals. Get professional results and save money in the long run with wheels that last longer and work harder.
