OVERVIEW

Professional Grade Finishing for Steel Surfaces

The Walter Coolcut 5" Sanding Disc (120 Grit) is a versatile abrasive tool designed to bring professional-quality finishing to your workshop. Whether you are a DIY enthusiast working on a metal project or a general contractor needing reliable abrasives, this pack of five discs offers exceptional value and performance. The Coolcut series is engineered specifically for use on steel and other ferrous metals, making it a staple for anyone working with iron or mild steel. The 120-grit rating places this disc in the fine category, making it the perfect choice for the final stages of surface preparation, such as smoothing out scratches left by coarser abrasives, blending light welds, or preparing a surface for painting and coating.

What sets the Coolcut disc apart is its manufacturing process. Walter utilizes an electrostatic method to apply the aluminum oxide grains to the backing. This high-tech process ensures that the abrasive grains are oriented vertically, exposing the sharpest points to the workpiece. The result is a disc that cuts cleaner and faster than standard gravity-fed abrasives. Additionally, the spacing of the grains is optimized to prevent clogging, which is a common issue when sanding painted or rusted surfaces. This means you can work longer with a single disc, saving both time and money on consumables.

Durability is key when using angle grinders, and the Coolcut disc features a robust fibre backing that withstands the high centrifugal forces and pressure of sanding. Despite its strength, the backing retains enough flexibility to conform slightly to curved surfaces, ensuring an even finish without gouging. The "Coolcut" name refers to the disc's ability to grind without generating excessive heat. This is crucial for preventing heat tinting or warping on thinner metal sheets. When paired with a proper backing pad, these discs provide a stable and controlled sanding experience that enhances the quality of your final product.

Key Features for the User:

  • Fine Finish: 120 grit is excellent for smoothing and blending.
  • Long Life: Electrostatic grain alignment maximizes abrasive use.
  • Heat Management: Runs cooler to protect your metal projects.
  • Convenient Pack: Comes in a pack of 5, perfect for small to medium jobs.

FAQ

The Walter Coolcut disc is specifically designed for use on steel and general ferrous metals.

Yes, all fibre sanding discs require a hard or semi-flexible backing pad to be used safely and effectively on an angle grinder.

120 grit indicates a fine abrasive texture. It is used for finishing, smoothing out scratches from coarser discs, and preparing surfaces for paint, rather than heavy stock removal.

This product (SKU 15C512V) contains 5 sanding discs per package.

While it can physically sand stainless steel, Walter offers specific products like the Topcut or Coolcut XX series that are better optimized for stainless steel to prevent contamination and maximize performance. This Coolcut disc is best for mild steel.

Always check the disc label for the specific Max RPM. Generally, 5-inch fibre discs are rated for use with standard 4.5" to 5" angle grinders, typically around 10,000 to 12,000 RPM.

This is a fibre disc (resin fibre disc). It is a single layer of abrasive on a fibre backing, unlike a flap disc which has layered abrasive flaps.

Most standard 5-inch fibre discs feature a 7/8" center hole (arbor), which fits standard backing pads for 4.5" and 5" grinders.
