48L495 - Walter Resin Fiber Sanding Disc

High-Performance Industrial Abrasive Disc

The Walter Tacho Disc (SKU: 48L495) represents the high standard of surface finishing solutions expected from Walter Surface Technologies. Designed for industrial environments where efficiency and finish quality are paramount, this resin fiber sanding disc is engineered to tackle tough metalworking challenges. Whether the task involves heavy stock removal, weld blending, or general surface preparation, the Tacho Disc delivers consistent performance. It is manufactured using premium abrasive grains that are bonded to a durable fiber backing, ensuring structural integrity even under high pressure and rotational speeds.

One of the critical challenges in metal fabrication is managing heat generation. Excessive heat can lead to workpiece discoloration, warping, or metallurgical changes. Walter's abrasive technology is developed to cut cool, dissipating heat effectively when used with the appropriate backing pad (such as Walter's Turbo or standard backing pads). This feature makes the Tacho Disc particularly suitable for working on heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, as well as standard carbon steel applications. The disc's construction prevents premature glazing, allowing the grain to fracture and self-sharpen, maintaining a high cut rate throughout its lifespan.

Procurement specialists should note that this product is a consumable abrasive component intended for use with right-angle grinders. It requires a compatible backing pad to secure it to the tool's arbor. The 48L series from Walter is typically associated with their Coolcut or similar high-performance lines, indicating a focus on productivity and reduced downtime for operator disc changes. By investing in high-quality abrasives like the Tacho Disc, facilities can reduce total abrasive consumption and improve overall throughput in grinding operations.

Key Industrial Applications

• Weld Removal: Rapidly levels welds on structural steel and fabrication projects.
• Surface Blending: Creates a uniform surface profile suitable for painting or further finishing.
• Deburring: Effectively removes sharp edges and burrs from cut metal parts.
• Maintenance & Repair: Ideal for MRO tasks requiring aggressive cleaning or material removal.
