15C702 - Walter Coolcut 7-Inch 24 Grit Fiber Sanding Disc for Steel

Optimized Performance for Steel Fabrication

The Walter 15C702 Coolcut 7" Sanding Disc is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial steel fabrication and maintenance operations. Designed with a coarse 24 grit, this disc excels in heavy stock removal applications where speed and efficiency are paramount. The foundation of the Coolcut series lies in its advanced manufacturing process; abrasive grains are applied to the backing using a specialized electrostatic method. This technique ensures that the sharpest points of the grains are oriented outward, maximizing the cutting potential and ensuring a consistent removal rate from the first pass to the last.

Heat management is a critical factor in abrasive performance, particularly when working with carbon steel. Excessive heat can lead to discoloration, warping, and a reduction in the structural integrity of the metal surface. The Coolcut disc addresses this with its specially formulated bond and grain structure, which promotes a "cool cutting" action. This feature not only protects the workpiece but also extends the life of the disc by preventing premature glazing and loading. The high-quality fiber backing provides the necessary rigidity to withstand high-pressure grinding while allowing enough flexibility to contour slightly to the workpiece, ensuring a smooth and uniform finish.

For MRO professionals and fabricators looking for a reliable, general-purpose abrasive, the 15C702 offers an excellent balance of performance and value. It is particularly effective for leveling welds, removing heavy corrosion, and preparing surfaces for subsequent finishing steps. By maintaining a consistent finish and high removal rate, this disc reduces downtime associated with frequent disc changes and rework, ultimately contributing to a more streamlined and cost-effective production line.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Electrostatic Grain Alignment: Maximizes sharpness and cutting aggression.
• Thermal Management: Reduces heat zones to prevent workpiece damage.
• Structural Integrity: Heavy-duty fiber backing resists tearing and edge wear.
