OVERVIEW

Premium Blending and Finishing with Walter Flexcut

The Walter Flexcut 15L460 is a top-tier flexible grinding wheel designed to revolutionize your metal finishing workflow. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 4-1/2 inch wheel features a fine 100 grit abrasive, making it the ultimate tool for blending welds, removing imperfections, and achieving a smooth finish in a single operation. Unlike rigid grinding wheels that can gouge surfaces or cause excessive vibration, the Flexcut series utilizes a specially reinforced flexible bond that conforms to the metal, ensuring a flawless finish on both flat and curved surfaces.

One of the standout features of this model is the Spin-On 5/8-11 hub. This integrated mounting system eliminates the need for locking nuts and flange keys, allowing operators to change wheels in seconds by hand. This not only increases productivity but also ensures the wheel is perfectly centered every time, reducing vibration and wear on your angle grinder. The Type 29S conical shape further enhances ergonomics, providing the optimal angle of attack for surface blending without requiring the operator to contort their hands or the tool.

Versatility is at the core of the Flexcut's design. It is formulated to work effectively on a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The proprietary Diamond-Cut pattern on the face of the wheel is a game-changer for working with non-ferrous metals like aluminum, as it actively prevents the wheel from loading or clogging. This ensures consistent cutting performance throughout the life of the wheel. For stainless steel applications, the cool-cutting action minimizes heat buildup, preventing unsightly heat tint and preserving the corrosion resistance of the material. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a dedicated hobbyist, the Walter 15L460 Flexcut wheel is an essential addition to your abrasive arsenal, delivering professional results with less effort and time.

FAQ

The 15L460 is highly versatile and is suitable for use on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Its Diamond-Cut pattern specifically helps prevent clogging when working with soft metals like aluminum.

No, the Walter Flexcut 15L460 does not require a backing pad. It is a reinforced flexible grinding wheel with a built-in Spin-On hub, designed to mount directly to your angle grinder.

The Spin-On 5/8-11 hub allows for fast, tool-free wheel changes. You simply spin the wheel onto the grinder's spindle by hand, which saves time and ensures the wheel is perfectly centered.

A 100 grit rating indicates a fine abrasive grain. This wheel is designed for blending and finishing rather than heavy stock removal, leaving a very smooth surface that often requires no further processing.

While it can remove material, the 100 grit Flexcut is best suited for light grinding, blending, and finishing. For heavy stock removal, a coarser grit (like 36 or 60) or a standard rigid grinding wheel would be more efficient.

Yes, the Flexcut 15L460 is formulated to be contaminant-free (Fe, S, Cl < 0.1%) and cuts cool, making it safe for stainless steel and preventing heat discoloration.

The maximum safe operating speed for the 15L460 is 13,300 RPM. Always ensure your angle grinder does not exceed this speed.

The flexibility allows the wheel to conform to curved surfaces and absorbs vibration. This prevents gouging (undercutting) the metal and provides a much smoother finish compared to rigid wheels.
