OVERVIEW

Aggressive Grinding with Maximum Comfort

Welders know that time is money, and the Walter Allsteel™ 5-Inch Flap Disc (06W504) is built to save you both. With a coarse 40 grit zirconia alumina formulation, this disc is designed to chew through steel rapidly, making short work of heavy weld beads and slag. Unlike cheaper alternatives that require you to lean hard into the grinder, the Allsteel disc cuts freely with minimal pressure. This reduces operator fatigue during long shifts and helps prevent heat buildup that can warp your workpiece.

The 06W504 features Walter's convenient Spin-On hub system. Forget hunting for a pin wrench every time you need to swap grits or replace a worn disc; simply spin the old one off and the new one on by hand. This secure, vibration-free connection improves safety and comfort, allowing for more precise control during delicate blending tasks. The 5-inch diameter provides excellent coverage for larger surfaces while remaining maneuverable enough for tight spaces.

Durability is a hallmark of the Walter brand, and this flap disc is no exception. It features a unique trimmable backing plate. As the flaps wear down on the outside, you can trim the plastic backing to reveal unused abrasive material underneath, effectively giving the disc a second life. This feature makes the Allsteel 06W504 one of the most economical choices for professional welders who demand consistent performance on carbon steel projects.

Why Choose Walter Allsteel?

  • Fast Removal: 40 grit zirconia grain removes metal quickly.
  • Longer Life: Trimmable backing lets you use every bit of the abrasive.
  • Quick Changes: Spin-On hub means less downtime.
  • Smooth Feel: Balanced design reduces vibration and fatigue.

FAQ

This disc is specifically engineered for use on steel and ferrous metals.

It is a 40 grit disc, which is considered coarse and suitable for heavy stock removal.

No, it is a flap disc with an integrated backing plate and Spin-On hub, so no separate backing pad is needed.

The trimmable backing allows you to cut away the plastic edge as the abrasive wears, exposing fresh grain and extending the life of the disc.

It fits 5-inch angle grinders with a standard 5/8"-11 spindle thread.

While it can grind stainless, Walter offers the Enduro-Flex series which is specifically optimized for stainless steel to prevent contamination and heat buildup. The Allsteel is best for carbon steel.

The maximum safe operating speed is typically around 12,200 RPM for 5-inch discs, but always check the label on the actual product.

Spin-On refers to the built-in 5/8"-11 threaded hub that allows the disc to be screwed directly onto the grinder spindle without a locking nut.
