15A708 - Walter XTRACUT 7-Inch Ceramic Sanding Disc, Medium Grit

High-Performance Ceramic Sanding for Steel Fabrication

The Walter Xtracut Sanding Disc 7" Medium (SKU: 15A708) represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for industrial steel applications. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this disc is designed to address the most demanding challenges in metal fabrication: speed, longevity, and heat management. At the core of the Xtracut series is an optimized self-sharpening ceramic grain. Unlike conventional grains that dull and round over time, these ceramic particles micro-fracture to continuously expose new, sharp cutting edges. This mechanism ensures that the disc maintains a high rate of stock removal throughout its entire lifespan, significantly boosting throughput in production environments.

Heat generation is a critical concern when grinding steel, as excessive temperature can lead to warping, discoloration, and compromised structural integrity of the workpiece. The Xtracut 15A708 addresses this with integrated cooling agents bonded directly into the abrasive matrix. These agents actively lubricate the cutting interface, promoting a "cool cut" that protects the base material and extends the life of the disc itself. This feature is particularly beneficial for heavy-duty applications where sustained grinding pressure is required.

Cost efficiency is another major advantage of the Xtracut line. By delivering exceptional service life, these discs reduce the frequency of changeovers, thereby minimizing downtime and labor costs associated with tooling changes. The "Medium" grit classification offers a versatile balance, capable of aggressive material removal while leaving a manageable surface profile for subsequent finishing steps. Ideal for beveling, weld removal, and heavy blending on steel structures, the Walter Xtracut 7" disc is an essential asset for professional fabricators seeking to optimize their production workflow.
