07X120 - Walter FX Surface Cleaning Mounted Point 2 Inch x 1 Inch

Industrial Grade Surface Cleaning and Finishing

The Walter FX™ Mounted Point (SKU: 07X120) represents a significant advancement in surface conditioning technology for industrial maintenance and fabrication. Engineered with a high-density non-woven abrasive web, this 2-inch by 1-inch mounted tool is designed to tackle tough cleaning applications where surface integrity is paramount. Unlike traditional grinding wheels that may alter the geometry of the workpiece, the FX abrasive structure is firm yet conformable, allowing it to follow surface contours while effectively removing contaminants.

One of the primary challenges in mechanical cleaning is the issue of "loading"—where the abrasive material becomes clogged with debris from soft metals or coatings. The Walter FX technology specifically addresses this by utilizing an open-web structure that naturally expels swarf and residue during operation. This self-cleaning action ensures that the abrasive grain remains exposed and active throughout the life of the product, resulting in consistent performance from the first pass to the last. It is an exceptional choice for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments requiring the removal of gaskets, heavy rust, scale, and industrial coatings.

Safety and efficiency are critical in modern manufacturing. This mounted point serves as a direct, safer alternative to knotted wire brushes, which can shed bristles and pose injury risks. The 07X120 is compatible with standard die grinders, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib. It excels in confined spaces where larger wheels cannot reach, providing a uniform finish on stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous alloys without smearing or contaminating the base material.

Key Industrial Applications

• Surface Preparation: Ideal for prepping metal surfaces prior to painting, coating, or bonding.
• Maintenance: Efficiently removes old gasket material, sealants, and corrosion from machinery parts.
• Fabrication: Cleans heat tint and discoloration from TIG welds on stainless steel assemblies.
