OVERVIEW

Walter 15A703 XTRACUT Sanding Disc Overview

The Walter 15A703 XTRACUT™ Sanding Disc represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for industrial steel fabrication. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 7-inch resin fiber disc is specifically formulated to address the challenges of heavy stock removal on carbon steel. At the core of the XTRACUT™ performance is its advanced ceramic grain structure. Unlike traditional abrasive grains that dull and round over time, these ceramic grains are designed to micro-fracture under pressure. This self-sharpening mechanism continuously exposes fresh, sharp cutting edges, ensuring that the disc maintains a consistent and aggressive cut rate throughout its entire service life.

Industrial environments demand efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The 15A703 delivers on both fronts by offering exceptional durability. The longevity of the ceramic grain means fewer disc changes are required per shift, reducing downtime and increasing overall throughput. Furthermore, the disc is impregnated with specialized cooling agents that actively lower the grinding temperature. This is a critical feature for maintaining the metallurgical integrity of the workpiece, as it prevents heat-induced discoloration and warping, thereby reducing the need for secondary rework processes.

This specific model features an Extra Coarse grit, making it the ideal choice for the most demanding applications such as leveling heavy weld seams, removing deep surface imperfections, and rapid shaping of steel components. The 7-inch diameter is perfectly suited for heavy-duty angle grinders, providing a large contact area for stability and speed on extensive flat surfaces. For procurement managers and shop foremen seeking to optimize their abrasive inventory, the Walter XTRACUT™ 15A703 offers a superior balance of speed, life, and finish quality on steel projects.

FAQ

The 15A703 XTRACUT disc is specifically designed for use on steel. It is optimized to provide maximum stock removal and cool cutting on carbon steel applications.

This disc is rated as X-Coarse (Extra Coarse), which typically corresponds to a grit range of 24-36, ideal for aggressive material removal.

Yes, as a resin fiber disc, the 15A703 requires a compatible backing pad (typically a turbo or cooling pad) to attach to your angle grinder safely and effectively.

Ceramic grains are self-sharpening. As they wear, they fracture to expose new sharp edges, maintaining a high cut rate and extending the life of the disc compared to aluminum oxide.

While ceramic grains are generally hard enough for stainless, the XTRACUT line is marketed specifically for steel. For stainless steel, Walter's COOLCUT or TOPCUT series might be more specialized, though this will cut stainless aggressively.

You will need a 7-inch angle grinder with a 5/8"-11 spindle (standard) and a 7-inch backing pad.

The disc is manufactured with cooling agents in the top coat that reduce friction and heat generation, preventing the 'burning' or discoloration of the steel.

No, the X-Coarse grit is designed for heavy stock removal. For finishing or blending to a smooth surface, you would follow up with a finer grit disc (e.g., 60, 80, or 120 grit).
