15F713 - Walter Coolcut 3-Inch Flap Wheel 80 Grit with 1/4-20 Thread

Precision Finishing with Walter Coolcut Technology

The Walter 15F713 Coolcut Flap Wheel is engineered for industrial professionals who demand consistency and longevity in their abrasive consumables. Measuring 3 inches in diameter with a 1-inch width, this wheel is perfectly sized for general-purpose shaping, deburring, and graining tasks. The 80-grit composition places it firmly in the intermediate finishing category, allowing operators to effectively remove light burrs and blend surfaces without gouging the base material. What sets the Coolcut line apart is the premium quality of the abrasive cloth, which is designed to wear down uniformly, exposing fresh grain constantly to maintain a high cut rate throughout the life of the wheel.

One of the critical challenges in metal finishing is heat management. Excessive heat can lead to discoloration, particularly on stainless steel, or "loading" when working with softer metals like aluminum. Walter's Coolcut technology addresses this by utilizing a flap configuration that promotes airflow, keeping the workpiece cool during operation. This feature makes the 15F713 an excellent choice for heat-sensitive applications where preserving the metallurgical integrity of the surface is paramount. The wheel features a 1/4"-20 threaded mount, ensuring a secure and concentric fit on compatible die grinders and rotary tools, reducing run-out and vibration.

Durability is a hallmark of Walter Surface Technologies, and this flap wheel is no exception. The flaps are securely bonded to the core, preventing premature shedding even under the stress of high-speed rotation. Whether you are smoothing out a casting, cleaning up a machined part, or preparing a surface for coating, the Coolcut Flap Wheel delivers a satin-finished surface with minimal effort. It is a versatile tool suitable for a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, making it a staple inventory item for machine shops, fabrication floors, and maintenance departments alike.
