OVERVIEW

Industrial-Grade Heavy Stock Removal

The Walter 15A473 XTRACUT Quick-Change Sanding Disc represents the pinnacle of abrasive efficiency for industrial fabrication environments. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy manufacturing, this 4-1/2 inch disc utilizes advanced self-sharpening ceramic grain technology. For procurement managers and facility operators, the XTRACUT series offers a tangible return on investment by significantly extending the lifespan of consumables compared to traditional aluminum oxide or zirconia discs. The ceramic grains fracture under pressure to continuously reveal sharp cutting edges, ensuring that the disc maintains a high removal rate throughout its entire life cycle, rather than dulling rapidly after the initial use.

Efficiency in the supply chain is further enhanced by the Quick-Change (QC) mounting system. In high-volume production lines where downtime equates to lost revenue, the ability to swap out abrasives in seconds without the need for specialized tools streamlines workflow and boosts operator productivity. This disc is engineered with built-in cooling agents specifically formulated to mitigate heat generation. This feature is critical when working with heat-sensitive alloys like stainless steel, as it prevents thermal discoloration and warping, thereby reducing the need for secondary rework or scrapped parts.

The X-Coarse grit specification of the 15A473 is tailored for the most aggressive applications, such as leveling heavy welds, removing deep surface imperfections, and rapid stock removal on carbon steel. By integrating this high-performance abrasive into your inventory, you ensure that your workforce is equipped with tools that reduce fatigue and increase throughput. Walter Surface Technologies continues to set the standard for industrial abrasives, providing solutions that balance aggressive performance with long-term durability and safety.

FAQ

You need a compatible Quick-Change (QC) rubber backing pad designed for 4-1/2 inch discs. The QC system allows for tool-free mounting.

No, X-Coarse is designed for heavy stock removal and aggressive grinding. For finishing, you should step down to medium or fine grit discs after the initial removal.

While it can physically grind aluminum, it is optimized for steel and stainless steel. Aluminum may clog (load) the disc unless a lubricant or wax is used.

Ceramic grain is harder and self-sharpens by fracturing to create new cutting edges, whereas aluminum oxide tends to dull and round off. This results in faster cutting and longer life.

Yes, the XTRACUT discs feature built-in cooling agents that significantly reduce heat buildup, helping to prevent heat tinting and warping on stainless steel.

Packaging quantities can vary, but industrial sanding discs are typically sold in packs (e.g., 25 per pack). Please check the specific listing unit of measure.

Yes, as long as the grinder has a standard 5/8"-11 spindle to accept the Quick-Change backing pad required to mount this disc.
