OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Finishing with Walter Allsteel Flap Discs

The Walter Surface Technologies 06W512 Allsteel™ Flap Disc is engineered for professional environments where efficiency and finish quality are paramount. Designed specifically for steel applications, this 5-inch disc utilizes a proprietary blend of zirconia alumina abrasive grains. This advanced formulation provides a self-sharpening effect, ensuring that the disc maintains a high removal rate throughout its lifespan, even under lower pressure. For industrial MRO and fabrication shops, this translates to consistent performance and reduced consumable costs over time.

This particular model features a 120 grit abrasive, making it the ideal choice for the final stages of metal preparation. Whether you are blending welds to a smooth finish, preparing surfaces for painting, or removing light imperfections, the 120 grit offers a refined touch without sacrificing speed. The integrated Spin-On system with a 5/8"-11 thread significantly enhances workflow efficiency by allowing operators to mount and dismount the disc quickly without the need for additional tools or flange nuts.

Durability is a core component of the Allsteel design. The disc is constructed with a unique trimmable backing pad. As the abrasive flaps wear down, the backing can be trimmed back to expose fresh grain, extending the usable life of the product and allowing for better access into tight corners and fillet welds. This feature prevents premature disposal of the disc and maximizes the value of every unit in your inventory.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Cost Efficiency: Trimmable backing utilizes more abrasive material per disc.
  • Time Savings: Spin-On hub reduces changeover time in high-volume production.
  • Consistent Results: Zirconia alumina grain delivers uniform finishes on steel.

FAQ

The Walter Allsteel 06W512 is designed primarily for use on steel surfaces. It is excellent for blending, deburring, and finishing applications where a high removal rate and consistent finish are required.

Spin-On refers to the integrated 5/8"-11 threaded hub on the back of the disc. This allows the disc to be screwed directly onto the angle grinder's spindle without the need for a separate locking nut or wrench, facilitating faster disc changes.

Yes, the Walter Allsteel flap discs feature a trimmable backing. As the abrasive flaps wear down, the backing can be trimmed to expose fresh abrasive, extending the life of the disc.

No, 120 grit is considered a fine grit. It is best suited for finishing, blending, and surface preparation. For heavy stock removal, a coarser grit like 40 or 60 would be more appropriate.

This disc uses a special blend of zirconia alumina abrasive grains, which are known for their toughness and self-sharpening properties on steel.

While specific RPMs should always be checked on the physical disc label, standard 5-inch flap discs are typically rated for a maximum of around 12,200 RPM.

While it can physically grind aluminum, the Allsteel line is optimized for steel. For aluminum, Walter offers specific discs designed to prevent loading (clogging) which is common with soft metals.

Trimming the backing allows the flexible abrasive flaps to extend beyond the rigid center, making it easier to press the disc into the corner of a fillet weld for smooth blending without gouging.
