OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Grinding with Walter ALLSTEEL

The Walter ALLSTEEL 7" x 7/8" Grit 120 Flap Disc (15W712) represents a pinnacle in abrasive technology for industrial steel fabrication. Designed by Walter Surface Technologies, this flap disc is engineered to deliver a superior removal rate while maintaining a cost-effective price point for high-volume workshops. The core of the ALLSTEEL performance lies in its specific formulation of zirconia alumina abrasive grains. This unique blend is optimized for steel applications, ensuring that the disc bites into the material effectively without glazing over or wearing down prematurely.

One of the standout features of the 15W712 is its self-sharpening capability. As the operator grinds, the abrasive grains fracture in a controlled manner, revealing new, sharp cutting edges. This mechanism allows the disc to maintain a consistent cut rate throughout its lifespan, reducing the need for excessive pressure. For industrial operators, this means less physical fatigue and higher daily throughput. The 120 grit rating makes this particular disc an excellent choice for finishing stages, blending welds, and preparing surfaces for painting or coating where a smoother profile is required.

Durability is further enhanced by Walter's innovative trimmable backing. Unlike standard flap discs where the backing pad can interfere with the workpiece as the abrasive wears down, the ALLSTEEL backing can be trimmed back. This simple feature allows users to utilize the full depth of the abrasive flaps, significantly extending the usable life of the product. Whether you are deburring heavy structural steel, smoothing out fillet welds, or working on sharp corners, the Walter ALLSTEEL flap disc provides the reliability and performance demanded by professional metalworkers.

Key Applications

  • Steel Fabrication: Ideal for general grinding and blending on mild steel and structural steel components.
  • Weld Blending: The 120 grit offers a fine finish, perfect for smoothing out weld seams and preparing for final finishing.
  • Deburring: Effectively removes burrs from cut edges and sharp corners without gouging the base material.
  • Surface Preparation: Cleans and conditions steel surfaces prior to painting, plating, or coating.

FAQ

The Walter 15W712 ALLSTEEL flap disc is specifically designed for use on steel and structural steel surfaces.

This disc has a grit size of 120, which is ideal for finishing, blending, and light grinding applications.

Yes, the ALLSTEEL flap disc features a trimmable backing that allows you to expose fresh abrasive, extending the life of the disc.

The disc has a diameter of 7 inches and an arbor size of 7/8 inch, fitting standard large angle grinders.

It uses a zirconia alumina abrasive grain blend, known for its toughness and self-sharpening properties on steel.

While it can physically grind aluminum, it is optimized for steel. For aluminum, a disc designed to prevent loading (clogging) is recommended.

The zirconia alumina grains fracture under pressure during use, creating new sharp edges that maintain a consistent cutting speed.

Always check the label on the disc for the specific safety rating, but 7-inch flap discs typically have a max RPM around 8,600.
