15X523 - Walter Coolcut XX 5-Inch 36 Grit Quick-Change Sanding Disc

High-Performance Abrasive Efficiency

The Walter 15X523 Coolcut XX Sanding Disc represents a significant advancement in surface finishing technology, specifically engineered for industrial environments where time and material integrity are paramount. This 5-inch disc features a coarse 36 grit, making it the ideal choice for heavy stock removal, weld leveling, and aggressive surface preparation. The "XX" designation in the Coolcut series signifies a premium formulation designed to deliver exceptional removal rates while maintaining a long service life, thereby reducing the frequency of consumable replenishment and lowering overall operational costs.

A standout feature of this product is the Quick-Change mounting system. In high-volume fabrication settings, the time spent changing out worn abrasives can accumulate into significant lost production hours. The Quick-Change format addresses this bottleneck by allowing operators to swap discs in seconds without the need for wrenches or specialized tools. When paired with Walter's Quick-Change Turbo backing pads, the system ensures a secure, centered fit that minimizes vibration and maximizes the transfer of torque to the workpiece.

Thermal management is another critical aspect of the Coolcut XX design. Grinding and sanding operations naturally generate friction and heat, which can lead to heat tinting, warping, or metallurgical changes in the workpiece—particularly with stainless steel and aluminum. Walter has integrated cooling agents into the abrasive matrix to mitigate heat buildup, ensuring that the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of the metal are preserved. This makes the 15X523 a versatile solution for facilities processing a mix of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Procurement specialists and facility managers will appreciate the versatility of this abrasive. By consolidating sanding requirements for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum into a single high-performance product, inventory management becomes streamlined. The 15X523 delivers consistent, reliable performance that meets the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing, ensuring that projects remain on schedule and within budget specifications.
