OVERVIEW

Grind Faster and Smarter with Walter Allsteel

When you are in the middle of a heavy fabrication job, you need an abrasive that bites hard and lasts long. The Walter Allsteel 5" Flap Disc (60 Grit) is built for welders who demand performance on steel without the hassle. This disc features a tough Zirconia Alumina grain blend that self-sharpens as you work. This means you don't have to push as hard to get the metal moving, saving your arms from fatigue during long grinding sessions. Whether you are smoothing out a heavy fillet weld or deburring a fresh cut, the 60-grit surface provides the perfect medium aggression for quick removal and smooth blending.

The Spin-On hub is a game-changer for busy welders. Forget hunting for your pin wrench or dropping the flange nut in the metal shavings. With the Spin-On system, you just spin the old disc off and spin the new one on by hand—it tightens itself as you grind. This feature alone saves frustration and time, letting you get back to the arc faster. Plus, the vibration-reducing design helps keep your grinder steady, giving you better control over the finish.

What really sets this disc apart is the trimmable backing. On regular flap discs, once the flaps wear down to the edge of the plastic or fiberglass plate, the disc is trash—even if there is plenty of abrasive left in the center. With the Allsteel disc, you can simply trim the plastic backing against a piece of scrap metal to expose fresh flaps. This lets you use every bit of the cloth you paid for, making this one of the most economical choices for your tool crib.

Why Welders Choose Allsteel

  • Aggressive Bite: Zirconia grains chew through steel scale and weld metal effortlessly.
  • Quick Changes: Spin-On hub means no tools needed to swap discs.
  • Use Every Inch: Trim the backing to expose fresh abrasive and keep grinding longer.
  • Versatile 60 Grit: The sweet spot for removing stock while leaving a decent finish.

FAQ

The Spin-On hub features built-in 5/8"-11 threads, allowing you to attach and remove the disc from your angle grinder by hand without needing a flange nut or pin wrench.

Yes, the Allsteel disc features a trimmable backing. As the abrasive flaps wear down, you can trim the backing pad to expose unused abrasive, extending the life of the disc.

60 grit is a medium-coarse abrasive. It is aggressive enough for removing weld seams and heavy rust but leaves a smoother finish than a grinding wheel or 40 grit disc.

It is compatible with 5-inch angle grinders that have a standard 5/8"-11 spindle thread. The Spin-On hub screws directly onto this spindle.

Zirconia Alumina is tougher and more durable than standard Aluminum Oxide. It is self-sharpening, which makes it ideal for high-pressure grinding applications on steel.
