15U706 - Walter Enduro-Flex ALU 7-Inch Flap Disc 60 Grit

High-Performance Aluminum Blending Disc

The Walter 15U706 Enduro-Flex ALU™ is a premium 7-inch flap disc engineered specifically for the challenges of grinding and blending aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Standard abrasives often fail on soft metals due to rapid loading and glazing, which reduces efficiency and increases waste. The Enduro-Flex ALU™ addresses this with a proprietary coating that prevents material buildup, ensuring the abrasive grains remain exposed and active throughout the life of the disc.

This 60-grit disc features a high-performance zirconia alumina grain blend that delivers exceptional removal rates while maintaining a cool cut, crucial for heat-sensitive alloys. The formulation is strictly controlled to be free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, making it safe for nuclear and aerospace applications where contamination is a critical concern.

Eco-Trim™ Technology

A standout feature of the Enduro-Flex series is the Eco-Trim™ backing. Unlike traditional fiberglass backings that cannot be altered, the Eco-Trim™ backing is made from a specialized plastic that can be trimmed down as the flap overhang wears away. This innovative design allows operators to utilize the inner portion of the flaps that is normally discarded, effectively extending the useful life of the disc by up to three times. This translates to significant cost savings and reduced downtime for disc changes in high-volume industrial environments.

Industrial Applications

Designed for heavy-duty industrial use, this disc is ideal for manufacturing, shipbuilding, and aluminum fabrication shops. It fits standard 7-inch angle grinders with a 7/8-inch arbor. Whether blending welds, deburring edges, or finishing surfaces, the 15U706 provides a consistent, smooth finish without the vibration and chatter associated with lower-quality abrasives.
