Walter 06A452 Enduro-Flex Turbo Abrasive Flap Disc [Pack of 10] - 36/60 Grit, 5 in. Grinding Disc with Threaded Arbor Hole. Abrasive Grinding Supplies

I recently purchased the Walter 06A452 Enduro-Flex Turbo Abrasive Flap Disc pack, and they have exceeded my expectations in every way. These grinding discs are incredibly efficient, significantly reducing the time it takes to remove material and finish surfaces. The versatility of these flap discs is impressive. They excel in blending welds, breaking edges, and general abrasive grinding. I have found them particularly effective for deburring tasks as well. Whether working on steel or stainless steel, these discs perform flawlessly every time. One of the standout features is the exclusive Cyclone Technology. This technology enhances the disc's performance, providing maximum grinding ability and solid edge stability. It truly makes a difference in the quality and speed of my work. The patented Turbofan Cooling design is another fantastic feature. It cools the workpieces and minimizes heat transfer to the surface, which not only improves the lifespan of the disc but also protects the material I'm working on. This cooling feature has been a game-changer, especially during prolonged grinding sessions. The specifications of these discs are perfect for my needs. With a 5-inch diameter and a maximum rotational speed of 12,200 RPM, they fit my grinding tools perfectly. The 5/8-11 inch arbor hole diameter ensures a secure fit and smooth operation. Overall, the Walter 06A452 Enduro-Flex Turbo Abrasive Flap Discs are an outstanding investment for anyone needing high-performance grinding discs. They offer efficiency, durability, and superior performance. I highly recommend them for all your metalworking needs.

Work well and last better the alot of others I've tried.

Pros: - Lasts a long time, - Seemingly makes weld material disappear, - With different pressures applied can be very gentle to rather aggressive. Cons: - The overlapping edge of flap material can disappear very quickly with accidental misuse, - Doesn't seem to work anywhere near as aggressively on material that has been wire brushed. Story time: I've been using these disks for a total of about a year. The individual disks probably last me around 2 months at near daily use, at welding school and with a little life still left in them. With very careful application of pressure using a worn down disk, it is possible to get a nearly glass smooth finish. Weld bead approximately 1 to 2/8ths of an inch are very quickly ground flat by fresh and fairly well used disks, about 30 seconds or so per inch of weld. If used with the flap material flat against the material to be flapped, these disks will last approximately 3 months in a welding school environment of 4 hour days. As with anything misuse will damage the lifespan. I recommend taking my lifespans of disk above as a moderate level of use lifespan, without too many misuses.

Great for removing material fast. Horrible for safety. They don’t stay glued together. Had two wheels for two different orders shoot a chunk of the wheel across the shop.

They are Walter Enduro Flex. The best. Durable, value. Been using these for years.

I would have given 5 stars but these are very ,very expensive but these disc cut better than any others I've used

I am not a professional so my use of these is going to be more limited than most users spending this sort of money on a flap disc. I am an at-home-hotrodder that does a great deal of metal work on the weekends. That being said I measure a majority of my projects by time spent and how loud I have to be to get them done. Using a flap-disc is something that I have to do every weekend so the shorter I do it the better. I have used over 10 different brands and I'll never buy another one after using these. The material removal rate with this product is twice as good as any other disc I have used besides the 3M cubitron. The chinese junk I have bought on eBay might be a third as slow and last less than a quarter as long. I ran one disc for almost an hour this weekend and it still has some gas left in the tank. The surprise is that they maintain their ability to remove material even as they wear, unlike most of the ones I have used. These are the spin on style, which would save you time when changing them but this isn't really a benefit here because you don't change them very often!

My favorite all purpose grinding disk

Walter Enduro Flex Turbo flap discs are an excellent product and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They far out-perform any other flap disc I have ever used, with an extremely high metal removal rate, good surface finish, and an extremely long life. One thing I noticed immediately was the configuration of the flaps. I have an identical product (part number 06-A 502) from a local retailer, and it is slightly different than the one I received here. Specifically, the flap size is significantly smaller, each flap is 2cm x 2cm. On the discs I got locally, the flap size is 2.5cm x 2.5cm. However, on the discs with the larger flaps, there are only 58 of them per disc, while the smaller flaps are at a much higher density, at 92 flaps per disc. This works out to nearly identical amounts of abrasives (362.5 cm^2 vs 368 cm^2), but with a higher density and concentration towards the outer circumference on the discs bought here. See the attached photo for details.

great product
