The Walter Field-Mate is a premier linear finishing tool engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial surface conditioning. Designed to deliver consistent, high-quality finishes on stainless steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals, this tool is an essential asset for fabrication shops and maintenance departments alike. At its core lies a powerful 13.5 Amp motor equipped with DYNAMAX variable speed electronics. This advanced circuitry ensures that the selected RPM (ranging from 1000 to 3800) remains constant even under heavy load, preventing stalling and ensuring a uniform scratch pattern essential for matching existing finishes or achieving specific Ra requirements.
Technical precision is matched by robust construction. The Field-Mate features high-quality gearing and bearings designed to withstand the heat and stress of continuous operation. The spindle utilizes a standard 5/8"-11 thread, making it compatible with a vast array of abrasive drums, flap wheels, and pneumatic drums. Whether the application calls for aggressive material removal, satin finishing, or mirror polishing, the Field-Mate provides the torque and control necessary to execute the process efficiently. The tool also incorporates thermal overload protection, safeguarding the motor from damage during prolonged intensive use, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
For MRO professionals focused on specification compliance, the Field-Mate offers the control needed to replicate factory finishes in the field. The linear motion of the abrasive ensures that grain lines are straight and consistent, avoiding the swirl marks common with rotary angle grinders. This capability is critical in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and architectural metalworking, where surface finish integrity is paramount for both aesthetics and sanitation.
