Walter Surface Technologies (WST), a world leader in surface treatment technologies, is pleased to announce ZIP ONE, the highest performance extra thin cut-off wheel on the market. “Many of our clients have been asking us for a thinner version of our current leading cutting wheels. Our engineers and product developers have succeeded in making a world breakthrough: an extra thin 1mm wheel that lasts. We have made it down to 1mm, with a very resistant, high quality and cost-effective disc. We are very proud of this technical achievement,’’ says Pierre Somers, chairman and CEO of Walter Surface Technologies International.
Designed for cutting thin gauge metal, ZIP ONE is a specially-reinforced disc bonded with a unique, proprietary mix of high performance abrasives that deliver extra cool cutting. A new technology enables an optimal grit distribution throughout the disc. Until now, good performance cutting wheels claimed to be 1mm in thickness, but actually measured closer to the range of 1.4 to 1.7mm. ZIP ONE is the first wheel on the market with a true 1mm (1/32”) thickness that can last much more than only a few cuts. For more information log on to www.walter.com.
