48L003 - Walter Coolcut Flap Drum 60 Grit

Precision Linear Finishing with Walter Coolcut

The Walter Coolcut Flap Drum (48L003) is a high-performance abrasive tool designed specifically for the Walter Line-Mate linear finishing system. Engineered for industrial metalworking, this drum features a 60 grit abrasive cloth configuration that excels at intermediate finishing tasks, including graining, blending, and surface cleaning. The drum measures 4-1/2 inches in diameter by 4 inches in width, providing a substantial contact area for efficient processing of large flat surfaces or square tubing.

At the core of this product is Walter's proprietary Coolcut technology. The arrangement of the abrasive flaps allows for significant airflow during rotation, which dissipates heat rapidly. This is critical when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel, as it prevents discoloration, warping, or "blueing" of the metal. The abrasive cloth itself is manufactured from premium aluminum oxide grains, ensuring a consistent cut rate and a uniform scratch pattern throughout the life of the drum.

This flap drum is an essential component for fabricators requiring a high-quality linear finish (often referred to as a brushed or satin finish). It mounts securely to the Line-Mate arbor, ensuring concentric rotation and minimizing vibration. Whether you are removing light scratches, blending weld seams, or preparing a surface for a final polish, the 48L003 delivers reliable, professional results. It is compatible with a wide range of metals, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
