15F908 - Walter 3-Inch x 2-Inch Mounted Flap Wheel 80 Grit

Precision Finishing with Walter Surface Technologies

The Walter 15F908 Mounted Flap Wheel represents the pinnacle of abrasive finishing technology for industrial maintenance and fabrication environments. Engineered with the professional user in mind, this 3-inch by 2-inch wheel is constructed using premium industrial-grade abrasive cloth that delivers consistent performance from the first pass to the last. The 80-grit composition is specifically selected for intermediate finishing tasks, allowing operators to effectively blend welds, remove light burrs, and prepare surfaces for final polishing without compromising the dimensional integrity of the workpiece.

One of the standout characteristics of Walter's manufacturing process is the meticulous attention to balance. Each flap wheel is constructed with a precise number of flaps that are securely bonded to a central hub. This ensures that the wheel spins true at speeds up to 8,000 RPM, significantly reducing vibration. For MRO professionals, reduced vibration translates to less wear on rotary tools and die grinders, as well as reduced operator fatigue during extended periods of use. The 1/4-inch shaft is universally compatible with standard industrial collets, making this tool a versatile addition to any tool crib.

Versatility is a core requirement in modern manufacturing, and the 15F908 excels across a wide range of materials. Whether the application involves carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the abrasive cloth is designed to cut coolly and resist loading. This is particularly critical when working with heat-sensitive alloys where thermal discoloration can lead to rejected parts. The flexible nature of the flap design allows the wheel to conform to internal diameters, contours, and irregular shapes, ensuring a uniform surface finish even on complex geometries. By continuously exposing fresh abrasive grain as the flaps wear down, the wheel maintains a consistent cut rate throughout its lifespan, providing predictable and reliable results for high-stakes industrial applications.

Incorporating the Walter 15F908 into your abrasive inventory ensures that your team is equipped with a tool that balances longevity with performance. It is an essential solution for shops requiring high-quality surface conditioning, cleaning, and graining capabilities.
