07L422 - Walter FX FLEX Non-Woven Finishing Drum 4x2 Inch

Achieve Flawless Finishes with the Walter FX™ FLEX Drum

The Walter 07L422 FX™ FLEX Drum is a specialized abrasive tool engineered for industrial finishing applications where consistency and surface integrity are paramount. Measuring 4 inches in diameter and 2 inches in width, this drum is designed to mount onto linear finishing tools, such as the Walter Line-Mate system. It is constructed from a high-quality, lower-density non-woven mesh that provides exceptional flexibility. This unique composition allows the drum to conform to the workpiece, making it the superior choice for cleaning and finishing irregular or uneven surfaces that rigid abrasives would damage.

One of the primary challenges in metal fabrication is achieving a uniform finish on textured materials like checker plate or tread plate. Standard abrasives often grind down the raised patterns, ruining the material's functionality and aesthetic. The FX™ FLEX drum solves this by gently cleaning the surface and blending welds without altering the base geometry. It is capable of producing a consistent, fine #4 finish, which is highly sought after in sanitary stainless steel applications, architectural metalwork, and food processing equipment manufacturing.

Beyond texturing, this drum is an excellent solution for cleaning TIG and MIG welds. It removes heat tint and discoloration effortlessly, leaving behind a smooth, blended surface that matches the surrounding grain. By combining cleaning and finishing capabilities into a single accessory, the FX™ FLEX drum helps operators reduce downtime associated with wheel changes and increases overall shop productivity. Whether working on aluminum, steel, or stainless steel, this tool delivers professional, high-grade results every time.
