Walter Surface Technologies’ Flexsteel is part of the Enduro-Flex family of flap discs. It is a high-performing general purpose flap disc designed for use on steel in light industrial, metal fabrication and construction applications.

The flap disc features a zirconia alumina abrasive grain blend that self-sharpens with less pressure, allowing it to maintain a high removal rate on any power tool, including value models with less torque. The flap discs, like the Enduro-Flex series, feature Walter’s Eco-Trim backing that extends disc life.

The discs are said to offer a high removal rate and good life on steel. They offer an economical choice for blending sharp corners, heavy deburring or blending in fillet welds. In addition, they can withstand lateral pressure to remove material from corners and edges.
