04A256 - 2-1/2 Inch Twist-On Flap Disc Grit 60

High-Performance Small Diameter Finishing

The Walter 04A256 2-1/2" TWIST™ Flap Disc in Grit 60 represents a sophisticated solution for precision metal finishing in industrial environments. Designed to bridge the gap between aggressive grinding and fine surface conditioning, this abrasive tool utilizes a high-quality flap construction that ensures consistent wear and performance throughout its service life. Unlike traditional flat sanding discs that may gouge or wear unevenly, the layered flap design provides a cushioned effect, allowing the operator to maintain control while achieving a uniform finish on complex geometries and flat surfaces alike.

Manufactured in Germany, this disc is engineered for versatility and durability. It is compatible with a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including Aluminum, Stainless Steel, mild Steel, and Structural Steel. This multi-material capability makes it an invaluable asset in MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) settings where technicians frequently encounter varying substrates. The Grit 60 specification offers an optimal balance, providing sufficient aggression for light weld removal and deburring while leaving a surface profile that is easily refined or accepted as a final finish in many structural applications.

Quick-Change Efficiency

A defining feature of this product is the integrated plastic "TR" button, compatible with standard Twist-on/Twist-off backing pad systems (Type R). This quick-change mechanism significantly reduces downtime associated with abrasive changeovers. In high-throughput production environments or time-sensitive maintenance tasks, the ability to swap discs in seconds without the need for wrenches or locking nuts translates to measurable productivity gains. The secure locking mechanism ensures the disc remains centered and stable during high-speed rotation, minimizing vibration and operator fatigue.

Cost-Effective One-Step Solution

The Walter TWIST™ Flap Disc is designed as a one-step finishing solution to reduce overall operational costs. By combining a high removal rate with a consistent finish, it often eliminates the need for a two-stage process involving a grinding wheel followed by a fiber disc. The longevity of the flap construction means fewer disc changes per job, further driving down consumable expenses. Whether utilized for cleaning up small welds, breaking edges, or preparing surfaces for coating, this 2-1/2 inch disc delivers professional results in tight spaces where larger 4-1/2 inch or 5-inch grinders cannot reach.
