06W506 - Walter Allsteel 5-Inch 60 Grit Flap Disc with Spin-On Hub

Economical High-Performance Grinding for Steel Fabrication

The Walter Surface Technologies Allsteel™ 5-inch Flap Disc (06W506) represents a smart convergence of industrial performance and operational economy. Designed specifically for steel applications, this 60-grit abrasive disc utilizes a specialized Zirconia Alumina grain blend that provides aggressive material removal without the premium price tag often associated with top-tier abrasives. For procurement managers and shop foremen looking to optimize their consumables budget without sacrificing quality, the Allsteel line is the ideal general-purpose solution.

One of the standout technical features of this disc is its trimmable backing. Unlike standard flap discs where the backing plate can interfere with the workpiece as the abrasive wears down, the Allsteel backing can be trimmed back. This unique design allows operators to utilize virtually 100% of the abrasive cloth, significantly extending the life of each disc and reducing the frequency of changeovers. This translates directly to lower disposal costs and better inventory utilization.

The Spin-On 5/8"-11 hub is integrated directly into the disc, streamlining the workflow in high-volume production environments. By eliminating the need for a separate flange nut and wrench, the Spin-On system reduces the time required to swap out worn discs, keeping production lines moving efficiently. The self-sharpening nature of the zirconia grain ensures that the cut rate remains consistent from the first spark to the last, providing reliable performance for heavy deburring, fillet weld blending, and surface preparation.

Key Industrial Benefits
