15F212 - Walter 2-inch Mounted Flap Wheel 120 Grit

Precision Finishing with Walter Mounted Flap Wheels

The Walter 15F212 Mounted Flap Wheel is engineered for industrial professionals who demand consistency and precision in their metal finishing operations. This 2-inch diameter abrasive tool features a 3/8-inch width and 120 grit abrasive cloth, making it an exemplary choice for fine finishing, blending, and light deburring tasks. Constructed from premium-grade abrasive cloth, the flaps are securely bonded to a central hub, ensuring that the wheel maintains its structural integrity even under high rotational speeds up to 25,000 RPM.

One of the defining characteristics of Walter's flap wheel line is the meticulous attention to balance. Each wheel is centered and balanced to prevent vibration, a common issue with inferior abrasives that can lead to chatter marks on the workpiece and increased wear on the power tool's bearings. The 1/4-inch shaft is universally compatible with standard die grinders and rotary tools, providing a secure fit that minimizes runout. This stability allows for a uniform satin finish, essential for applications requiring high aesthetic standards or surface preparation for subsequent coating processes.

The 120 grit composition is specifically selected for applications requiring a smooth surface profile. As the wheel is used, the abrasive flaps wear down uniformly, continuously exposing fresh, sharp grain. This self-sharpening action ensures that the cut rate remains consistent throughout the life of the product, preventing the glazing that often occurs with solid grinding wheels. Suitable for use on a wide variety of metals, including stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum, this flap wheel is a versatile addition to any MRO or fabrication toolkit, particularly for accessing hard-to-reach areas, inner diameters, and irregular contours.
