OVERVIEW

Smooth Finishing for Professional Welders

Achieve a flawless finish on your steel projects with the Walter ALLSTEEL™ 5" Flap Disc, 80 Grit. This premium abrasive is a favorite among professional welders for its ability to combine aggressive material removal with a smooth finish. The 80 grit configuration is perfect for the second stage of grinding, where refining the scratch pattern and blending surfaces is critical. Whether you are cleaning up a weld seam or preparing a piece of structural steel for final assembly, this disc provides the control and consistency you need.

The 06W508 features Walter's convenient Spin-On system, which allows you to attach the disc to your 5-inch angle grinder in seconds without the need for flange nuts or wrenches. This means less downtime fumbling with tools and more time burning rods. The disc is constructed with a high-quality zirconia alumina grain that self-sharpens as it works. This ensures that the disc cuts cool and fast throughout its life, preventing glazing and reducing the risk of heat discoloration on your base metal.

Durability is key in a welding shop, and the ALLSTEEL™ disc delivers with its innovative trimmable backing. Instead of discarding the disc when the edge wears, you can simply trim the plastic backing to reveal unused abrasive material, getting every penny's worth out of the product. It is an economical, versatile, and high-performance tool that belongs in every welder's bag.

FAQ

The Walter ALLSTEEL 06W508 is specially formulated for use on steel and structural steel. It offers excellent performance for removing material and blending on ferrous metals.

This specific disc is 80 grit, which is suitable for intermediate grinding, blending, and finishing applications where a smoother surface is required compared to coarser grits.

No, this disc features a Spin-On 5/8"-11 hub which threads directly onto the angle grinder spindle, eliminating the need for a separate backing flange or nut.

The trimmable backing allows you to cut away the plastic edge as the abrasive wears down. This exposes fresh abrasive flaps that would otherwise be unused, extending the life of the disc.

This is a 5-inch diameter flap disc, designed for use with 5-inch angle grinders.

While it can grind stainless steel, the ALLSTEEL line is optimized for mild steel. For stainless steel, Walter's ENDURO-FLEX or other stainless-specific lines are generally recommended for best results.

It uses a unique zirconia alumina abrasive grain blend that self-sharpens to maintain a high removal rate.

The Spin-On configuration typically functions similarly to a Type 29 (conical) for better surface contact during contour work, though Walter's specific molding may vary slightly by model.
