For professional welders, working with aluminum requires tools that respect the material's properties. Standard grinding wheels can quickly clog, smear the metal, and ruin a perfect bead. The Walter Enduro-Flex ALU 6" Flap Disc is the welder's choice for achieving a flawless finish on aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Designed with an 80 grit abrasive, this disc is perfect for blending welds, breaking edges, and preparing surfaces without the frustration of constant wheel loading.
The secret lies in the disc's specialized lubricant coating. This coating prevents the soft aluminum chips from adhering to the abrasive grains, a common issue known as "loading." By keeping the cutting surface clean, the disc cuts cooler and faster, preventing heat buildup that can warp or discolor the workpiece. This is critical when working on thin-gauge aluminum or when aesthetic finish is a priority.
Time is money in the welding shop, and the Spin-On 5/8"-11 hub is designed for speed. It allows you to attach and remove the disc in seconds without searching for a pin wrench or flange nut. The connection is self-tightening and vibration-free, reducing operator fatigue during extended grinding sessions.
Furthermore, the Enduro-Flex ALU is built to last. It features a trimmable backing pad that lets you utilize the full diameter of the abrasive flaps. When the flaps wear down to the edge of the backing, simply trim the plastic back against a metal edge to reveal fresh abrasive. This feature alone can triple the usable life of the disc, ensuring you get every penny's worth out of your consumables. Guaranteed free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine, this disc will not contaminate your welds, ensuring code-compliant results every time.
