OVERVIEW

Advanced Surface Preparation with Walter FX Technology

The Walter 07X505 FX Cup Wheel is a premier solution for industrial surface cleaning and preparation. Engineered with a high-density, non-woven abrasive web, this 5-inch wheel is designed to tackle the toughest cleaning applications without compromising the integrity of the base material. Unlike traditional bonded abrasives that remove significant stock, the FX Cup Wheel focuses on removing surface contaminants such as paint, rust, mill scale, and corrosion. It is an essential tool for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals who require efficiency and safety in their daily workflows.

Eco-Trim: Innovation for Longevity

One of the standout features of this product is the patented Eco-Trim™ backing. In standard cup wheels, once the abrasive wears down to the backing, the remaining material is often discarded. Walter has solved this inefficiency by designing a trimmable plastic backing. As the abrasive material wears, the operator can easily trim the backing to expose fresh abrasive, effectively extending the life of the wheel by up to three times. This feature not only reduces consumable costs but also minimizes waste, making it an environmentally conscious choice for high-volume shops.

Safety and Versatility

Safety is a paramount concern in any industrial setting, and the FX Cup Wheel serves as a superior alternative to wire cup brushes. Wire brushes are prone to shedding bristles, which can cause injury to operators and damage equipment. The FX wheel eliminates this hazard completely. Furthermore, its non-woven structure resists loading, making it exceptionally versatile. It performs consistently on steel and stainless steel, but also excels on soft metals like aluminum without clogging. Whether you are removing gaskets from engine blocks, cleaning weld seams, or stripping old coatings, the Walter FX Cup Wheel delivers a consistent, uniform finish every time.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Cost Efficiency: Trimmable backing maximizes material usage.
  • Operational Safety: No loose wires or flying bristles.
  • Material Compatibility: Safe for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
  • Convenience: Integrated 5/8-11 threaded hub requires no extra backing pads.

FAQ

Eco-Trim is a trimmable plastic backing that allows you to cut away the support material as the abrasive wears down. This exposes fresh abrasive underneath, extending the wheel's life by up to three times compared to standard fixed-backing wheels.

Yes, the Walter FX Cup Wheel is designed with a non-woven structure that resists loading and clogging, making it excellent for use on soft metals like aluminum as well as steel and stainless steel.

No, the 07X505 FX Cup Wheel comes with an integrated backing and a 5/8-11 threaded arbor, so it mounts directly to your angle grinder without needing a separate backing pad.

Yes, it is significantly safer. Wire brushes can shed bristles that become dangerous projectiles. The FX Cup Wheel uses a solid non-woven abrasive web that does not shed wires, reducing the risk of injury.

Always check the label on the specific wheel for the rated RPM. Generally, 5-inch cup wheels are rated for use on standard angle grinders, but ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed the maximum RPM marked on the product.

This wheel features a standard 5/8-11 threaded arbor, which fits most standard North American 4.5-inch and 5-inch angle grinders.

While it can remove light spatter, the FX Cup Wheel is primarily designed for removing coatings, rust, scale, and discoloration. For heavy weld spatter removal, a bonded grinding wheel or a chipping hammer might be more effective initially.

You can trim the plastic backing by carefully using a cutting tool or by running the backing edge against a sharp metal edge while the wheel is spinning (following manufacturer safety guidelines) to shave off the plastic and reveal new abrasive.
