OVERVIEW

High-Performance Aluminum Grinding Solution

The Walter Enduro-Flex Flap Disc (SKU: 15Q454) is a premium abrasive tool engineered specifically for the challenges of grinding and finishing aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Standard abrasives often fail when working with soft metals due to "loading" or clogging, where the metal adheres to the abrasive grain, rendering the disc useless long before it is worn out. This Enduro-Flex disc features a specialized coating and grain structure that resists loading, ensuring cool cutting action and sustained high removal rates throughout the product's life.

A standout feature of the Enduro-Flex series is the patented Eco-Trim backing. This innovative design allows the operator to trim the plastic backing pad as the abrasive flaps wear down. By exposing fresh abrasive material that would otherwise be discarded, the Eco-Trim system can extend the usable life of the disc by up to three times compared to conventional flap discs. This translates to significant cost savings and reduced waste in high-production industrial environments.

Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications, this 40-grit disc is ideal for rapid stock removal, weld blending, and surface preparation. The 4-1/2" diameter and 7/8" arbor ensure compatibility with standard angle grinders. Its vibration-free performance reduces operator fatigue, making it a preferred choice for MRO professionals and fabrication shops demanding efficiency and quality.

FAQ

It features a specialized coating and grain formulation that prevents soft metals like aluminum from clogging (loading) the abrasive surface.

Eco-Trim is a trimmable backing pad. As the abrasive flaps wear down, you can trim the plastic backing to expose fresh abrasive, extending the disc's life by up to 3 times.

This disc has a standard 7/8" arbor hole, designed to fit most 4-1/2" and 5" angle grinders.

While it can grind steel, it is specifically optimized for aluminum. Using it on hard steel may result in faster wear compared to discs designed specifically for steel.

The maximum safe operating speed is 13,300 RPM.

No, the Enduro-Flex flap disc has a built-in backing plate, so no separate backing pad is needed.

This is a 40 Grit disc, which is coarse and suitable for heavy stock removal and grinding down welds.

No, Walter Enduro-Flex discs are known for their quiet, vibration-free operation, which reduces operator fatigue.
