15A526 - Walter XTRACUT 5-Inch Ceramic Quick-Change Sanding Disc, Coarse Grit

High-Performance Ceramic Abrasive for Industrial Fabrication

The Walter Surface Technologies 15A526 XTRACUT™ sanding disc is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial metalworking. Designed for facilities that prioritize efficiency and throughput, this 5-inch abrasive disc utilizes advanced ceramic grain technology to deliver exceptional stock removal rates. Unlike traditional abrasives that dull relatively quickly, the self-sharpening ceramic grains fracture under pressure to reveal fresh cutting edges, ensuring consistent performance throughout the life of the disc. This characteristic is particularly beneficial in high-volume production environments where consistency and speed are paramount to maintaining operational schedules.

One of the standout features of this product is its Quick-Change (QC) format. In industrial settings, downtime associated with tooling changes can accumulate to significant lost productivity over time. The QC system allows operators to swap out worn discs or change grits in seconds without the need for specialized tools, keeping the workflow smooth and uninterrupted. This system, when paired with the appropriate rubber backing pad, provides a secure and stable interface that transmits power effectively from the tool to the workpiece, maximizing the abrasive's potential.

Cost management is a critical component of procurement and MRO strategy. The XTRACUT™ disc addresses this by offering a guaranteed cost saving for steel projects through its extended service life. The inclusion of specialized cooling agents within the disc matrix actively inhibits heat generation during aggressive grinding. This not only prolongs the life of the abrasive but also protects the workpiece from heat-induced distortion and discoloration, reducing the need for secondary rework or scrap. For supply chain managers and procurement specialists, the Walter 15A526 represents a reliable, high-efficiency solution that balances unit cost with superior operational longevity.

This product is specifically optimized for steel and stainless steel applications, making it a versatile addition to inventory for general fabrication shops, structural steel plants, and heavy equipment manufacturing. By integrating the XTRACUT™ system, facilities can expect a tangible improvement in material removal metrics and a reduction in overall abrasive consumption.
