07M343 - Walter Blendex Linear Finishing Drum Medium Grit 5/8-11 Hub

Professional Surface Conditioning with Walter Blendex Drums

The Walter 07M343 Blendex Drum is a premium abrasive tool designed for metalworkers who demand perfection in their surface finishing operations. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this drum utilizes advanced non-woven abrasive technology to deliver consistent, high-quality results on a wide variety of alloys. Whether you are working with stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or copper, the Blendex drum excels at producing uniform, shadow-free finishes that enhance the aesthetic value of your workpieces.

This specific model features a Medium grit rating, making it the versatile workhorse of the Blendex line. It is aggressive enough to remove minor surface imperfections, oxidation, and light scratches, yet refined enough to leave a smooth, satin appearance. The drum measures 4-1/4 inches in diameter and 4 inches in width, providing a substantial contact area for efficient processing of large surfaces, such as architectural railings, food service tanks, and pharmaceutical equipment.

One of the standout features of this drum is its 5/8"-11 threaded arbor. This integrated mounting system ensures a secure, vibration-free connection to compatible linear finishing tools and variable-speed polishers. Unlike keyed drums that can sometimes slip or wobble, the threaded connection transfers torque efficiently, allowing for precise control during delicate blending tasks. The open-web structure of the abrasive material naturally resists loading, meaning the drum runs cooler and lasts longer, even when processing gummy metals like aluminum.

For industrial MRO environments and fabrication shops, consistency is key. The Walter Blendex Drum is manufactured to wear down evenly, exposing fresh abrasive grain constantly. This ensures that the finish you achieve on the first minute of use is identical to the finish you achieve at the end of the drum's life. It is an essential tool for anyone looking to achieve a professional "brushed" or linear finish on metal surfaces.
