Walter
Surface Technologies introduces ZIP+ XTRA, a new cutting wheel specifically
designed to easily cut through steel or stainless steel in heavy duty
applications.
The
cutting wheel is a new addition to Walter’s ZIP line family of cutting wheels
and replaces the existing ZIP+ due to increased performance while keeping the
same value. The ZIP+ XTRA features Walter’s
exclusive, patented rib design to reduce friction on the surface for faster and
cooler cutting. It is 1/16” thick, which allows it to last longer, and cut
through heavy duty applications with safety and precision. With these added features, this new cutting
wheel is the ideal solution for metal fabricators, manufacturers and
contractors who are looking for a fast, smooth and efficient cut for their most
demanding applications.
The
ZIP+ XTRA comes in Walter’s exclusive protective packaging designed to preserve
the wheel’s physical properties until ready for use so that performance and
safety are kept at the highest standards possible.
Through
extensive laboratory test, ZIP+ XTRA was found to provide the most amounts of
cuts than other comparable cutting wheels on the market. That is because the
ZIP+ XTRA is designed with a new formulation of zirconium grains that are more
durable against the toughest materials.
“The
product is called ZIP+ XTRA because we wanted to emphasize that this cutting
wheel is extra safe, extra strong and
extra tough”, said Marc Brunet-Gagne, Product Manager at Walter Surface
Technologies. “With this new formulation, we are able to produce a product that
can cut through the most demanding cutting applications with ease and therefore
reduce costs associated with wheel changeover as well as costs related to the
amount of wheels used throughout the year. In addition, the ZIP+XTRA produce
less dust when compared to other competitive wheels, making this wheel a safer
solution for workers and the work environment.”
The
ZIP+ XTRA is available now in 4 ½” and 5” diameters.
