OVERVIEW

High-Performance Ceramic Flap Disc for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter Enduro-Flex Turbo™ (SKU: 06A457) represents a significant leap in abrasive technology, designed specifically for industrial environments where speed and efficiency are paramount. This 4.5-inch flap disc utilizes a unique hybrid 36/60 grit configuration, leveraging high-performance ceramic grains to deliver the industry's fastest removal rate while simultaneously providing a finish comparable to finer grits. This dual-action capability allows fabricators to consolidate rough grinding and blending into a single operation, drastically reducing process time and inventory requirements.

Engineered with Walter’s proprietary Cyclone Technology™, the disc maintains a consistent and aggressive cutting action throughout its lifespan. The inclusion of the patented Turbofan™ cooling mechanism is a critical innovation for heavy-duty applications; by actively dissipating heat away from the workpiece, it prevents thermal discoloration and warping, particularly on heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel. This cooling effect also preserves the integrity of the ceramic grains, extending the overall life of the disc and ensuring consistent performance from the first spark to the last.

The Type 29 conical profile offers an elevated ergonomic angle, making this disc ideal for working on complex geometries, including contours, edges, and corners. The integrated 5/8-11" threaded hub ensures a secure, vibration-free connection to the angle grinder, enhancing operator safety and comfort during prolonged use. For MRO professionals and fabrication shop managers seeking to optimize throughput and reduce consumable costs, the Enduro-Flex Turbo offers a robust solution that balances aggressive material removal with superior surface quality.

FAQ

The 36/60 rating indicates a hybrid ceramic grain blend. It offers the aggressive material removal rate typically associated with coarse 36 grit, while leaving a smoother surface finish similar to a 60 grit disc.

While ceramic grains are hard enough for aluminum, this disc is optimized for steel and stainless steel. For aluminum, a disc specifically designed to prevent loading (clogging) is recommended.

The Turbofan design utilizes a ribbed backing pad that creates airflow during rotation. This actively cools the workpiece and the abrasive grains, extending disc life and preventing heat discoloration on the metal.

No, this model (06A457) features an integrated 5/8-11" threaded hub. It spins directly onto the spindle of your angle grinder, eliminating the need for a flange nut.

Yes, like many Walter flap discs, the backing is made of a special composite that can be trimmed down as the flaps wear, allowing you to utilize the full life of the abrasive material.

The maximum safe operating speed for this 4.5-inch disc is 13,300 RPM. Always ensure your grinder does not exceed this rating.

This is a Type 29 disc, which means it has a conical shape with angled flaps. This design provides better surface contact for contouring and more aggressive stock removal compared to flat Type 27 discs.

Cyclone Technology refers to the specific high-tech flap geometry and grain orientation used by Walter. It ensures that fresh, sharp ceramic grains are constantly exposed, maintaining a high cut rate throughout the disc's life.
