OVERVIEW

High-Performance Flexible Grinding Solution

The Walter Surface Technologies Flexcut 15L456 is a premier flexible grinding wheel engineered to bridge the gap between heavy stock removal and surface finishing. Designed for industrial MRO and fabrication environments, this 4-1/2 inch wheel features a 60 grit abrasive matrix capable of removing weld seams and leaving a paint-ready finish in a single operation. The proprietary Diamond-Cut pattern on the wheel face creates open channels that facilitate superior debris evacuation, preventing the wheel from loading or clogging even when working with soft metals like aluminum.

Technical Efficiency and Precision

For technical operators, the Flexcut offers a significant reduction in process time. By combining grinding and blending steps, it eliminates the need for multiple abrasive changes. The Type 29S Spin-On system features an integrated 5/8"-11 threaded hub, ensuring perfect centering and reducing vibration, which prolongs tool life and reduces operator fatigue. The wheel's flexibility allows it to conform to curved surfaces, such as pipe radii and tank corners, ensuring consistent material removal without altering the workpiece geometry.

Material Compatibility

This abrasive tool is formulated to run cool, making it an excellent choice for heat-sensitive materials. It is highly effective on:

  • Stainless Steel: Prevents heat tinting and discoloration.
  • Aluminum: Resists loading, maintaining cutting aggression.
  • Steel: Efficiently blends welds and removes mill scale.

The 15L456 is an essential consumable for workshops prioritizing efficiency, surface quality, and tool longevity.

FAQ

Flexcut wheels are flexible, allowing them to conform to curved surfaces and absorb vibration. This prevents gouging and allows for simultaneous grinding and blending, whereas standard wheels are rigid and designed primarily for heavy stock removal.

Yes, the Diamond-Cut pattern and special formulation prevent the wheel from loading (clogging) with soft metals like aluminum, making it highly effective for non-ferrous applications.

No, this specific model (15L456) features a Type 29S Spin-On hub, which mounts directly to the angle grinder's spindle without the need for a separate backing pad or locking nut.

This wheel is 60 Grit, which is ideal for medium stock removal and blending. It provides a balance between cutting speed and surface finish quality.

Absolutely. The Flexcut is designed to run cool, which significantly reduces the risk of heat discoloration or warping on stainless steel surfaces.

Simply thread the wheel onto the 5/8"-11 spindle of your angle grinder and hand-tighten it. The rotation of the grinder will keep it secure during use.

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

In many cases, yes. The Flexcut offers similar blending capabilities but can often remove material faster and last longer than a standard flap disc, especially on uneven surfaces.
