OVERVIEW

Walter ErgoFlex 4-1/2" x 7/8" Grit 60 Flexible Grinding Wheel

The Walter ErgoFlex 15T456 is a revolutionary step forward in abrasive technology, specifically engineered for industrial environments where safety, ergonomics, and productivity must coexist. This 4-1/2 inch grinding wheel features a Grit 60 abrasive blend, making it an exceptional choice for applications requiring a balance between aggressive material removal and a high-quality surface finish. Designed with the professional operator in mind, the ErgoFlex addresses common workplace hazards associated with heavy grinding, such as excessive noise, hand-arm vibration, and dust generation.

At the core of this abrasive wheel is Walter's exclusive Cyclone Technology. This proprietary grain blend ensures that despite its ergonomic features, the wheel does not compromise on performance. It cuts freely and quickly, allowing for efficient weld removal and blending on both steel and stainless steel. The Type 29 depressed center design provides a comfortable working angle, allowing the operator to maintain better control over the tool. This design is particularly beneficial for blending operations on curved surfaces, where rigid wheels often cause gouging or undercutting. The ErgoFlex conforms slightly to the surface, ensuring a smooth transition and a consistent finish.

Safety managers and procurement specialists will appreciate the ErgoFlex for its contribution to a safer workplace. By significantly reducing vibration, this wheel helps mitigate the risk of long-term occupational health issues related to power tool use. Furthermore, the reduction in noise levels contributes to a better shop environment. The 60 grit composition of this specific SKU (15T456) is ideal for intermediate grinding stages where removing weld seams and preparing the surface for final finishing is required. It offers a softer touch than coarse 36 grit wheels while still removing stock effectively.

Whether used in heavy fabrication, pipeline construction, or general maintenance, the Walter ErgoFlex stands out as a premium abrasive solution. It combines the durability expected from Walter Surface Technologies with innovative design features that prioritize the well-being of the user. Equip your workforce with an abrasive that works as hard as they do, without the physical toll of traditional grinding stones.

FAQ

The Walter 15T456 ErgoFlex wheel has a grit rating of 60, making it suitable for medium grinding and blending applications.

While the ErgoFlex is primarily designed for steel and stainless steel, for aluminum applications it is generally recommended to use abrasives specifically treated to prevent loading, although ErgoFlex can be used for light work if monitored for clogging.

ErgoFlex wheels are designed with a degree of flexibility that reduces vibration and noise (ergonomics) and prevents gouging, whereas standard wheels are rigid and can be harder to control on curved surfaces.

This wheel features a standard 7/8" arbor, compatible with most 4-1/2" and 5" angle grinders.

No, the Walter ErgoFlex is a Type 29 depressed center wheel that mounts directly to the grinder using the standard flange nut; no backing pad is needed.

The ErgoFlex 15T456 is optimized for use on both mild steel and stainless steel.

The ErgoFlex is designed to generate minimal dust compared to traditional grinding wheels, contributing to a cleaner working environment.

The Type 29 shape features a conical design that provides an optimal angle for contouring and blending, allowing for more surface contact and better control.
