48R418 - Walter FASTON Drum Belt 3-1/2" x 15-1/2" 180 Grit

Premium Linear Finishing with Walter FASTON Belts

The Walter Surface Technologies 48R418 FASTON Drum Belt is a high-performance abrasive tool designed for industrial metalworking professionals who demand precision and consistency. Engineered specifically for use with the Line-Mate III system and other compatible linear finishing tools, this belt features a premium aluminum oxide grain structure that delivers a uniform scratch pattern every time. With a 180 grit rating, it is the ideal choice for fine finishing applications where surface quality is paramount, effectively blending minor imperfections and preparing surfaces for final polishing or coating.

Measuring 3-1/2 inches in width and 15-1/2 inches in length, this belt is sized perfectly to fit 5-inch diameter pneumatic or expandable rubber drums. The robust cloth backing ensures that the belt maintains its structural integrity even under the heat and stress of continuous industrial use, preventing premature tearing or stretching. This durability translates to less downtime for belt changes and a lower total cost of operation for workshops handling large volumes of stainless steel, aluminum, or steel fabrication.

One of the standout features of the FASTON series is the lap-joint construction. Unlike inferior belts that may have bulky butt-joints that cause chatter marks or bouncing during operation, the Walter 48R418 is designed to run smoothly. This ensures that the linear grain applied to the metal remains uninterrupted and professional in appearance. Whether you are manufacturing food-grade stainless steel equipment, architectural railings, or pharmaceutical tanks, this belt provides the control and finish quality required to meet strict industry standards.

At Josef Gas, we understand that the final finish can make or break a project. By stocking the Walter 48R418, we provide our customers with a reliable solution for achieving satin finishes and blending welds seamlessly. This belt is not just a consumable; it is a key component in the value-added process of metal fabrication, ensuring your end products look as good as they perform.
