Walter Surface Technologies has announced the launch of their new ZIP ONE TYPE 27, the latest addition to the ZIP ONE line of extra thin cut-off wheels.

The wheel is designed for optimal cutting in thin gauge metal (under 1/8”, 3mm thick). The TYPE 27 features a special raised centre for extra rigidity, durability and thinness.

The design of the wheels centre hub allows for a larger cutting surface than standard progressive hubs. It also enables straighter, sharper, more precise and higher speed cuts for flush cutting applications.

The product has been three years in the making and our engineers have delivered an ultra-thin cutting wheel that not only offers the most durable and rigid TYPE 27 in the industry, but one that provides sharper, straighter and more precise cuts when compared to competing TYPE 27 products, states Patrick Lapointe, Vice President Research and Development, Walter Surface Technologies.

Manufactured with an iron-free mix, wheel cuts cooler and faster and is guaranteed not to contaminate stainless steel.  It avoids discolouration of the workpiece and cuts burr-free, reducing post-cut finishing.
