07Q953 - Walter Quick-Step Finishing Trial Kit 4-1/2 Inch

Comprehensive Surface Finishing Solution

The Walter Quick-Step Trial Pack (07-Q-953) is an expertly curated collection of abrasive technologies designed to demonstrate the full capabilities of the Quick-Step system. Engineered for metalworkers who require precision and versatility, this kit provides every component necessary to take a raw metal surface from a rough weld state down to a pristine #8 mirror finish. The system is built around a 4-1/2 inch platform with a standard 5/8-11 arbor, making it compatible with most industrial variable speed angle grinders. The inclusion of the specialized Hook & Loop backing pad ensures that operators can switch between steps in seconds, maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime associated with tool changes.

At the core of this kit is the progression of abrasive grades. It begins with the 120 Grit Flap Disc for initial surface leveling and light weld removal. Following this, the kit introduces Walter's proprietary Blendex discs in Extra Coarse, Coarse, Medium, and Fine grades. These non-woven surface conditioning discs are essential for lowering the surface roughness average (Ra) incrementally, blending scratch patterns, and preparing the metal for final polishing. The variety of densities included allows users to experiment with different finishes to find the exact match for their specific application requirements, whether it be a satin finish on architectural railings or a pre-paint preparation on sheet metal.

For applications requiring the highest level of aesthetic appeal, the trial pack includes the necessary components for high-gloss polishing. The Felt Disc and High Polish Disc, used in conjunction with the included 1200 grit white paste and 2000 grit blue paste, enable the operator to buff stainless steel and aluminum to a reflective mirror shine. This capability is particularly critical in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and architectural industries where surface finish correlates directly with hygiene and corrosion resistance. By providing a complete roadmap of abrasives, Walter Surface Technologies ensures that users can achieve consistent, repeatable results.

Manufactured in Germany, the components in this trial pack adhere to strict quality standards. The backing pad provides the necessary flexibility to contour to curved surfaces while maintaining enough rigidity for flat grinding. This balance reduces operator fatigue and prevents gouging of the workpiece. Whether you are working with cast iron, tool steel, or non-ferrous metals, the Quick-Step Trial Pack offers a robust, industrial-grade solution for all surface finishing challenges.
