15Q704 - Walter Enduro-Flex Stainless 7-Inch Flap Disc Grit 40 with Trimmable Backing

High-Performance Grinding for Stainless and Aluminum

The Walter 15Q704 Enduro-Flex Stainless Flap Disc (7" diameter, Grit 40) represents a pinnacle in abrasive technology, specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of stainless steel and non-ferrous metal fabrication. In industrial environments where efficiency and cost-per-grind are critical metrics, this disc delivers superior value through its innovative design and sustainable materials. Unlike traditional flap discs that must be discarded once the outer edge wears down, the Enduro-Flex series features the patented ECO-TRIM backing. This backing is constructed from natural, sustainable plant fibers that can be easily trimmed away, exposing fresh abrasive grains and effectively extending the usable life of the disc by up to three times. This feature alone significantly reduces consumable waste and procurement frequency.

Beyond longevity, the 15Q704 is formulated to solve common processing challenges. Grinding stainless steel often generates excessive heat, leading to discoloration and warping. This disc utilizes a specialized top coat and grain structure that promotes cool cutting, preserving the integrity of the workpiece surface. Furthermore, for facilities processing aluminum or copper alloys, the non-loading properties of the disc prevent the clogging that typically plagues standard abrasives, ensuring consistent material removal rates throughout the disc's life. The 7/8" arbor ensures compatibility with standard 7-inch angle grinders, making it a versatile addition to any MRO inventory.

Safety and environmental responsibility are also key components of the Enduro-Flex design. The natural fiber backing dampens vibration, reducing the risk of Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) for operators during prolonged use. Additionally, the manufacturing process guarantees that the disc is free from iron, sulfur, and chlorine, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination that can lead to corrosion on stainless steel assets. For procurement managers seeking a reliable, high-efficiency, and eco-conscious abrasive solution, the Walter Enduro-Flex Stainless is the optimal choice.
