OVERVIEW

Precision Finishing with Walter Abrasives

The Walter 48L180 is a premium 180 grit flap disc designed for industrial metalworking applications requiring a fine surface finish. Part of Walter Surface Technologies' renowned lineup of abrasives, this disc is engineered to deliver consistent performance, long service life, and superior material removal rates relative to its grit size. The 180 grit configuration is specifically targeted at the final stages of surface preparation, blending, and finishing, making it an essential tool for fabricators working with stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel.

Constructed with high-quality abrasive cloth flaps, the 48L180 ensures a cool cutting action that minimizes heat transfer to the workpiece. This is critical when working with heat-sensitive materials to prevent discoloration or warping. The overlapping flap design provides a cushioned effect, allowing for controlled stock removal and a smooth, uniform finish without gouging. Whether you are blending weld seams, removing light scratches, or preparing surfaces for painting or polishing, this disc offers the control and durability needed for professional results.

Walter's commitment to safety and performance is evident in the construction of this disc. It is balanced to reduce vibration, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Compatible with standard angle grinders, the 48L180 integrates seamlessly into existing finishing workflows. Its durability means fewer disc changes, resulting in lower downtime and increased productivity in the shop.

FAQ

The Walter 48L180 is a 180 grit flap disc, designed for fine finishing and blending applications.

Yes, Walter flap discs are formulated to run cool and are excellent for use on stainless steel to prevent heat discoloration.

Yes, it is designed for use with standard angle grinders. Always check the arbor size and maximum RPM rating.

A grinding wheel is hard and aggressive for heavy stock removal. This flap disc (180 grit) is flexible and designed for smoothing, blending, and finishing.

Many Walter flap discs (like the Enduro-Flex series) feature trimmable backings. Please check the specific series labeling on the disc.

This is likely a typo for 'Walter Leaf' (referring to the flaps) or a mislabeled item. It is a standard abrasive flap disc.

The maximum RPM depends on the disc diameter (usually 13,300 RPM for 4.5" or 12,200 RPM for 5"). Always verify the rating printed on the disc.

Flap discs generally last significantly longer than standard fiber sanding discs due to the layered flap construction that exposes fresh abrasive as it wears.
