15W508 - Walter Allsteel 5-Inch Flap Disc 80 Grit with Trimmable Backing

Walter Allsteel Flap Disc 5" x 7/8" Grit 80: Efficiency Meets Value

For metalworkers and fabricators looking for a reliable, high-performance abrasive solution, the Walter Allsteel Flap Disc (SKU: 15W508) stands out as a top-tier choice. Designed specifically for use on steel, this 5-inch disc with a 7/8-inch arbor combines aggressive removal rates with a finish that prepares surfaces for the next stage of production. Whether you are working in a small garage or a large industrial workshop, the Allsteel line provides the consistency required for professional results.

The core of this flap disc's performance lies in its zirconia alumina abrasive grain blend. Unlike standard aluminum oxide discs that can dull quickly, zirconia alumina is self-sharpening. As you grind, the abrasive grains fracture to reveal new, sharp cutting edges. This mechanism ensures that the disc maintains a high cut rate throughout its lifespan, reducing the need for frequent disc changes and keeping your workflow uninterrupted. The 80 grit specification makes this particular model excellent for intermediate finishing, blending, and light deburring where a balance between material removal and surface smoothness is required.

One of the most innovative features of the Walter Allsteel series is the trimmable backing. Standard flap discs often have to be discarded while there is still usable abrasive material near the center, simply because the backing pad gets in the way. With the Allsteel disc, you can trim the backing down, exposing more of the abrasive flaps. This simple yet effective design feature significantly extends the life of the disc, offering you more value for your money and reducing overall abrasive waste.

This disc is engineered to perform with minimal pressure, reducing operator fatigue during long grinding sessions. It is perfectly suited for a variety of tasks including blending sharp corners, heavy deburring, and smoothing out fillet welds. By choosing the Walter Allsteel Flap Disc, you are investing in a product that delivers industrial-grade durability and efficiency, ensuring your steel fabrication projects are completed to the highest standard.
