15T708 - Walter ErgoFlex 7-Inch Flexible Grinding Wheel 80 Grit

Advanced Flexible Grinding for Precision Blending

The Walter 15T708 ErgoFlex is a specialized 7-inch flexible grinding wheel designed to bridge the gap between heavy stock removal and surface finishing. Engineered with Walter's proprietary Cyclone Technology grain blend, this abrasive disc delivers consistent cutting action while maintaining a cool grinding zone, making it particularly effective for heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel. The 80 grit composition of this specific SKU is tailored for applications requiring a finer finish, such as blending weld seams, smoothing rough surfaces, and preparing metal for polishing or painting.

One of the defining characteristics of the ErgoFlex line is its Type 29 depressed center design combined with a semi-flexible backing. This architecture allows the wheel to conform slightly to the workpiece, significantly increasing the contact area compared to traditional rigid wheels. This flexibility not only minimizes the risk of gouging or undercutting the base metal but also absorbs vibration, leading to a quieter and more comfortable operator experience. For industrial MRO environments where ergonomics and safety are paramount, the ErgoFlex reduces hand-arm vibration, allowing for longer periods of use with less fatigue.

This wheel is compatible with standard 7-inch angle grinders featuring a 7/8-inch arbor. It excels in curved surface applications, such as tank fabrication or pipe welding, where rigid wheels often create flat spots. The 15T708 provides a controlled material removal rate that ensures dimensional integrity while achieving a high-quality surface profile.
