15L516 - Walter Flexcut 5-Inch Flexible Grinding Wheel Grit 60

Premium Flexible Grinding Performance

The Walter 15L516 FLEXCUT Flexible Grinding Wheel represents a significant advancement in abrasive technology, designed to bridge the gap between heavy stock removal and surface finishing. Measuring 5 inches in diameter with a 7/8-inch arbor, this Grit 60 wheel is engineered for professionals who demand versatility and efficiency. For over 25 years, the FLEXCUT series has been the industry benchmark for flexible grinding wheels, offering a unique solution that adapts to the contours of the workpiece while delivering consistent, high-performance results.

At the core of the 15L516 is Walter's proprietary manufacturing process and formulation. Unlike standard rigid grinding wheels that can generate excessive heat and gouge surfaces, the FLEXCUT wheel features a degree of flexibility that allows it to conform to curved surfaces, such as pipes, tanks, and rounded corners. This flexibility ensures a larger contact area, which not only speeds up the grinding process but also produces a smoother, more uniform finish. The wheel is specifically formulated to work effectively on a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals.

One of the standout features of this wheel is its deep Diamond-Cut pattern. This textured surface design promotes high removal rates by providing aggressive cutting action while simultaneously facilitating efficient chip evacuation. This is particularly critical when working with softer metals like aluminum, which are prone to clogging or "loading" standard abrasives. The FLEXCUT 15L516 resists loading, ensuring that the wheel maintains its cutting efficiency throughout its lifespan. By combining the capabilities of a grinding wheel and a finishing disc, this product allows operators to complete jobs in a single step, significantly reducing downtime associated with wheel changes and lowering overall production costs.

Safety and comfort are also paramount in the design of the FLEXCUT series. The flexible nature of the wheel absorbs vibration, leading to less operator fatigue during extended use. Whether you are removing welds, blending surfaces, or preparing metal for painting, the Walter 15L516 delivers a cool, controlled grind that preserves the integrity of the base material.
