OVERVIEW

Premium Surface Finishing with Walter Abrasives

The Walter Tacho Disc (SKU: 48M649) represents the high standard of quality associated with Walter Surface Technologies. Designed for industrial metalworking environments, this abrasive disc is engineered to deliver consistent surface finishing, blending, and material removal. Whether you are preparing a surface for coating, cleaning up welds, or achieving a specific aesthetic finish, Walter abrasives are formulated to perform reliably under demanding conditions.

Part of the renowned Walter abrasive lineup, this disc features advanced grain technology that promotes cool cutting. This is critical when working with heat-sensitive metals, as it helps prevent discoloration and warping. The disc's construction is robust, resisting edge wear and glazing, which ensures that the abrasive grains remain active and effective throughout the life of the product. This efficiency translates to lower operational costs and higher productivity for fabrication shops.

Operators will appreciate the smooth running characteristics of Walter discs, which help reduce vibration and fatigue during extended use. The 48M649 is suitable for use on a variety of metals, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib. When paired with the appropriate backing pad (if applicable) and angle grinder, this disc provides the control and aggression needed for both rapid stock removal and fine blending tasks.
