OVERVIEW

High-Performance Flexible Grinding with Walter FLEXCUT

The Walter 15L513 FLEXCUT Flexible Grinding Wheel is a premier abrasive solution designed to optimize metal fabrication workflows. Engineered with Walter's proprietary technology, this 5-inch wheel features a 7/8-inch arbor and a coarse 36 grit, making it an exceptional tool for heavy stock removal and blending. For over 25 years, the FLEXCUT series has set the standard in the industry for flexible grinding wheels, offering a unique combination of aggression and finesse that rigid wheels cannot match.

At the core of this product's performance is the innovative Diamond-Cut pattern. This specialized surface design facilitates extremely high removal rates while maintaining cool grinding temperatures. By preventing excessive heat buildup, the FLEXCUT wheel protects the workpiece from thermal damage and discoloration, which is particularly critical when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel. Furthermore, the wheel is formulated to resist clogging and loading, ensuring consistent performance even when grinding soft, non-ferrous metals such as aluminum. This non-loading characteristic significantly extends the life of the wheel and reduces downtime associated with wheel changes.

The primary advantage of the Walter FLEXCUT 15L513 is its ability to function as a one-step finishing solution. In many fabrication scenarios, operators must switch between a hard grinding wheel for removal and a fiber disc or flap disc for finishing. The FLEXCUT bridges this gap, allowing users to grind down welds and leave a smooth, paint-ready finish with a single product. This efficiency translates directly to cost savings by reducing abrasive consumption and labor time. Whether you are removing mill scale, grinding down heavy welds, or blending surfaces, this pack of 25 wheels provides the durability and versatility required for demanding industrial environments.

Designed for use on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, the FLEXCUT is a truly universal tool for the modern machine shop. Its flexibility allows it to conform to curved surfaces, such as pipes and tanks, without gouging or undercutting the material. This level of control helps operators achieve precise results with less effort and fatigue.
