OVERVIEW

Premium Industrial Finishing with Walter Flap Wheels

The Walter 1-1/2" x 3/8" x 120 Grit Flap Wheel (SKU: 15F012) is a top-tier abrasive tool designed for precision finishing in industrial environments. Engineered for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals who demand consistency, this flap wheel features a high-quality abrasive cloth that wears evenly to expose fresh grain, ensuring a uniform cut rate throughout the life of the product. The 120-grit composition is specifically selected for fine finishing tasks where surface aesthetics and smoothness are critical.

One of the standout features of this Walter abrasive is its precisely engineered hub. Unlike inferior alternatives that may wobble or vibrate, causing operator fatigue and inconsistent finishes, Walter flap wheels are perfectly balanced. This balance allows for smoother operation, reduced chatter marks on the workpiece, and greater control when working on delicate parts. The compact 1-1/2 inch diameter combined with a narrow 3/8 inch width makes this tool exceptionally capable of reaching into small bores, tubing, and intricate contours that larger wheels simply cannot access.

Versatility is key in any machine shop or production facility. This flap wheel is compatible with a wide range of materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Whether you are deburring machined parts, blending tool marks, or preparing a surface for coating, the 15F012 delivers reliable performance. It is designed to be used with die grinders or power drills equipped with a 1/4" collet, making it a flexible addition to any tool crib. By choosing Walter, you are investing in abrasives that reduce downtime due to wheel changes and improve the overall quality of your finished components.

FAQ

The Walter 15F012 flap wheel is versatile and safe for use on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

This mounted flap wheel is designed for use with die grinders or power drills that have a 1/4" collet or chuck.

A flap disc is flat and used for surface grinding, while a flap wheel is cylindrical and mounted on a shaft, making it better for inside diameters, contours, and tight spaces.

No, this is a mounted flap wheel with an integrated shaft and hub, so no backing pad is required.

120 grit indicates a fine abrasive texture, suitable for finishing, blending, and smoothing rather than aggressive material removal.

It provides a fine satin finish which is a pre-polish step, but for a mirror finish, you would need finer grits and polishing compounds.

Replace the wheel when the abrasive flaps are worn down near the hub or if the finish becomes inconsistent.

While primarily designed for metal, it can be used on wood for sanding contours, though it may wear differently than on metal.
