06A487 - Walter Enduro-Flex Turbo 4.5 Inch Flap Disc Grit 36/60 Type 29

Maximize Grinding Efficiency with Walter Enduro-Flex Turbo

The Walter Enduro-Flex Turbo™ (SKU: 06A487) represents a significant leap forward in abrasive technology, specifically engineered for industrial environments where speed and finish quality are paramount. This 4.5-inch flap disc features a unique 5/8"-11 threaded arbor for rapid mounting and dismounting, minimizing downtime between tasks. What sets the Enduro-Flex Turbo apart is its innovative grit composition; it utilizes an exclusive ceramic grain blend rated at 36/60. This dual-action grit allows operators to remove heavy weld seams with the aggression of a 36-grit wheel while simultaneously achieving a smoother, paint-ready surface typical of a 60-grit disc. This "one-step" capability drastically reduces the need for multiple abrasive changes, streamlining the fabrication process.

Heat management is a critical factor in abrasive performance, and Walter has addressed this with their patented Turbofan™ backing design. This ribbed backing pad acts as a cooling fan, forcing air across the workpiece and the abrasive flaps during rotation. This active cooling mechanism prevents heat buildup, which is the primary cause of premature disc glazing and warping of thin metal substrates. The result is a consistent cutting action throughout the life of the disc and a cooler workpiece that is less prone to discoloration, particularly when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel.

Designed for heavy-duty applications, the Type 29 conical profile offers superior ergonomics for edge breaking and contour blending. The angled flaps provide greater surface contact area, allowing for more controlled and comfortable grinding. Combined with Walter’s Cyclone Technology, the Enduro-Flex Turbo delivers the fastest removal rate in the industry for its class, making it an indispensable tool for metal fabrication shops, structural steel plants, and maintenance departments looking to optimize their abrasive consumption and labor costs.
