15F208 - Walter 2" x 3/8" Mounted Flap Wheel - 80 Grit

Precision Finishing for Industrial Applications

The Walter 15F208 Flap Wheel is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal finishing, offering a superior solution for deburring, blending, and shaping operations. Designed with a 2-inch diameter and a 3/8-inch width, this abrasive tool is specifically calibrated for accessing confined spaces and intricate workpiece geometries where larger wheels cannot reach. At the core of its performance is the premium-grade abrasive cloth, which is manufactured to maintain consistent grain exposure throughout the lifespan of the wheel. This ensures that the 80-grit finish remains uniform from the first pass to the last, critical for maintaining strict Ra (roughness average) specifications in quality-controlled environments.

Walter Surface Technologies has prioritized mechanical balance in the construction of this flap wheel. The flaps are securely bonded to the central hub in a precise arrangement that minimizes vibration at high rotational speeds. For operators using handheld die grinders, this reduction in vibration translates to greater control, reduced fatigue, and a lower risk of chatter marks on the workpiece. The wheel is compatible with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel, making it a versatile asset in MRO and fabrication settings.

Thermal management is another key attribute of the 15F208. The design allows for airflow between the flaps, promoting a cool cutting action that significantly reduces the risk of heat buildup. This is particularly advantageous when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, preventing discoloration and warping. By combining durability, precision balance, and thermal efficiency, this Walter flap wheel delivers a cost-effective solution for high-quality surface preparation and finishing tasks.
