OVERVIEW

High-Performance Zirconia Alumina Sanding Disc

The Walter 04D312 Topcut™ Disc represents a pinnacle in small-diameter abrasive technology, specifically engineered for precision finishing and blending operations in industrial environments. This 3-inch disc utilizes a high-grade Zirconia Alumina grain structure, which is renowned for its self-sharpening properties and durability under thermal stress. Unlike conventional aluminum oxide abrasives that dull relatively quickly, Zirconia Alumina fractures to reveal fresh cutting edges, maintaining a consistent removal rate throughout the life of the product. This makes the Topcut™ series an excellent choice for MRO professionals seeking to optimize consumable usage and reduce changeover frequency.

Thermal management is a critical aspect of the Topcut™ design. The disc features a specialized construction that facilitates optimal heat dispersion, significantly reducing the risk of heat buildup, warping, or discoloration (bluing) on the workpiece. This is particularly advantageous when working with heat-sensitive alloys such as stainless steel or thin-gauge aluminum. The 120-grit specification provides a fine finish, making it suitable for the final stages of surface preparation, blending out coarser scratch patterns, or preparing surfaces for painting and coating.

Operational efficiency is further enhanced by the inclusion of the "TR" (Type R) mounting button. This quick-change system allows operators to swap discs in seconds without the need for specialized tools, minimizing downtime during multi-step finishing processes. The backing of the disc is color-coded, providing immediate visual verification of the grit size on the shop floor, which streamlines workflow and prevents cross-contamination of grit sizes during critical finishing tasks. Designed for use with high-speed die grinders, this disc is rated for high RPMs, ensuring stability and smooth operation even in the most demanding applications.

FAQ

This specific Walter Topcut disc is 120 grit, which is considered a fine grit suitable for finishing and blending.

It uses the TR mounting system, which is compatible with standard Type R (roll-on/roll-off) backing pads.

Yes, the Walter Topcut is designed to work effectively on aluminum, as well as steel and stainless steel.

Yes, a 3-inch backing pad with a TR (Type R) connection is required to mount this disc to your tool.

This 3-inch disc is typically used with pneumatic or electric die grinders and right-angle sanders.

The grain is Zirconia Alumina, known for its durability and ability to self-sharpen during use.

Since this is a 120 grit disc, it is better suited for blending, cleaning, and finishing rather than heavy stock removal. For heavy removal, a coarser grit (like 36 or 60) would be recommended.
