11L322 - Walter ZIP 3" x 1/8" x 1/4" Notching & Grinding Wheel

Precision Notching and Grinding with Walter ZIP™ Technology

The Walter 11L322 ZIP™ wheel is a high-performance abrasive engineered specifically for use with straight shafts and die grinders. Measuring 3 inches in diameter with a 1/8-inch thickness and a 1/4-inch arbor, this wheel is optimized for demanding notching and shaping applications in industrial environments. Walter Surface Technologies has developed this abrasive solution to deliver superior material removal rates while maintaining a cool cutting action, which is critical for preserving the metallurgical integrity of the workpiece.

Designed for versatility, the 11L322 excels on both steel and stainless steel substrates. Its formulation prevents glazing and loading, ensuring consistent performance throughout the wheel's life. The 1/8-inch profile provides the rigidity necessary for notching tasks where thinner wheels might deflect, yet it remains precise enough for controlled shaping. This balance makes it an indispensable tool for metal fabricators requiring accuracy in tight spaces or on complex geometries.

One of the standout features of the Walter ZIP™ line is its ability to resist heat buildup. Excessive heat during grinding can lead to discoloration and warping, particularly in stainless steel. By running cooler, this wheel extends its own service life and reduces the need for post-weld rework or surface correction. Whether used for preparing weld joints, removing defects, or general fabrication, the Walter 11L322 offers a reliable, high-end solution for professional MRO and fabrication operations.
