January 8, 2015 – Walter Surface Technologies says its new Zipcutter is the “most powerful cordless cutter that can drive a 6-in. cutting wheel”.

The tool sports an 18V/5.2Ah battery and features a ventilated charging system that helps extend battery life by keeping it cool during charging. Zipcutter includes Dynamax electronics for RPM control and consistent speed under load, bevelled gears to reduce noise, and a front retaining plate and rear bushing to prevent misalignment and reduce vibration. The cutter is designed to be used with Walter’s ZIP family of cutting wheels, and is available in 4 1/2-in., 5-in. and 6-in. diameters.
