15A508 - Walter Xtracut 5-Inch Ceramic Sanding Disc Medium Grit

Maximize Production with Walter Xtracut Technology

The Walter Xtracut Sanding Disc 5" Medium (SKU: 15A508) represents the pinnacle of abrasive innovation for industrial steel applications. Designed for high-volume fabrication environments where time and efficiency are critical, this sanding disc utilizes advanced self-sharpening ceramic grains. Unlike traditional aluminum oxide discs that dull rapidly, the ceramic grains in the Xtracut fracture under pressure to reveal fresh, sharp cutting edges continuously. This mechanism ensures that the removal rate remains consistent throughout the life of the disc, allowing operators to maintain peak productivity without frequent disc changes.

Heat management is a crucial factor in aggressive grinding, and Walter has engineered the Xtracut series with built-in cooling agents. These agents actively reduce friction and surface temperature during operation, preventing common issues such as glazing, heat discoloration, and warping of the workpiece. This feature is particularly beneficial when working on heat-sensitive steel components where structural integrity and surface finish are paramount. The "Medium" grit classification makes this disc an excellent choice for a balance between aggressive stock removal and surface blending, bridging the gap between heavy grinding and final finishing.

Durability is at the core of the Xtracut design. By delivering a significantly longer lifespan than standard sanding discs, the 15A508 reduces consumable costs and downtime associated with changeovers. It is specifically optimized for steel and steel production, making it the go-to choice for structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment manufacturing, and general metalworking. When paired with a high-quality backing pad, this disc transforms a standard angle grinder into a powerful stock removal tool.
