ZIP XX ceramic cutoff wheel from Walter offers speed, durability

Walter Surface Technologies has introduced the ZIP XX cutoff wheel. The slightly thick, 1/16-in. ceramic wheel has reinforcements that help make it safe and durable. According to the company, it outlasts other ceramic wheels by at least 30%.

Formulated with 100% self-sharpening ceramic grain, the wheel cuts up to 10% faster than aluminum oxide wheels, the manufacturer states. The proprietary SMART RESIN technology allows the wheel to expose the fresh grains at the optimal moment.

It is compatible with steel, stainless steel, and hard alloys and available in diameters of 4.5, 5, 6, and 7 in.
