15T703 - Walter ErgoFlex 7-Inch Flexible Grinding Wheel Type 29

Advanced Ergonomics in Heavy Grinding

The Walter 15T703 ErgoFlex™ is a revolutionary 7-inch flexible grinding wheel designed to bridge the gap between aggressive stock removal and operator safety. Engineered with Walter’s proprietary Cyclone™ Technology, this abrasive disc features a high-performance grain blend that delivers removal rates comparable to traditional rigid grinding wheels while maintaining a level of flexibility that standard stones cannot offer. The coarse 36-grit composition is specifically formulated for heavy-duty tasks such as weld removal, beveling, and edge breaking on both steel and stainless steel components.

What sets the ErgoFlex apart is its Type 29 depressed center design combined with a semi-flexible backing. This configuration allows the wheel to conform slightly to the workpiece, absorbing vibration and significantly reducing the noise generated during operation. For industrial environments, this means a lower risk of white finger syndrome and reduced operator fatigue over long shifts. The flexibility also provides a "forgiving" grinding action, which drastically minimizes the risk of gouging or undercutting the base metal—a critical advantage when working on high-value parts or preparing surfaces for inspection.

Ideal for MRO and fabrication shops prioritizing safety without sacrificing productivity, the ErgoFlex 15T703 ensures a consistent finish and comfortable handling. It effectively blends welds on curved surfaces and flat plates alike, making it a versatile addition to any abrasive inventory. By mitigating the harsh chatter of rigid wheels, it allows for smoother control and superior surface quality in fewer steps.
