15F158 - Walter Coolcut 1" x 1" Mounted Flap Wheel Grit 80

Precision Finishing with Industrial Grade Abrasives

The Walter 15F158 Coolcut™ Flap Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for small-scale finishing and deburring operations. Engineered in Italy, these wheels are constructed using the highest industrial-quality abrasive cloth, designed to withstand the rigors of continuous metalworking environments. The 1-inch by 1-inch dimension is specifically tailored for precision applications where larger abrasive tools would be unwieldy or ineffective. With a Grit 80 rating, this wheel serves as an excellent intermediate tool, capable of removing light burrs and imperfections while simultaneously preparing the surface for final polishing or leaving a clean, uniform satin finish.

One of the critical engineering features of the Coolcut line is the optimal number of flaps securely bonded to the central hub. This density is calculated to provide a consistent cut rate and finish throughout the life of the wheel. As the flaps wear down, new abrasive grain is constantly exposed, ensuring that the performance does not degrade over time. Furthermore, the wheels are meticulously balanced. In high-RPM applications such as die grinding, balance is essential to prevent vibration, which can lead to operator fatigue, tool wear, and chatter marks on the workpiece. The Walter 15F158 ensures smooth, vibration-free rotation, allowing for precise control during delicate shaping or blending tasks.

These flap wheels are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, and mild steel. Whether the task involves cleaning up inside diameters, blending contours, or general deburring of machined parts, the Coolcut flap wheel delivers reliable, professional results. The abrasive cloth is tough enough to handle steel but refined enough to treat softer metals like aluminum without excessive gouging or heat buildup, making it a staple in any precision machine shop or fabrication facility.
