04L300 - Walter FX 3-Inch Non-Woven Surface Cleaning Disc

Advanced Surface Conditioning with Walter FX

The Walter 04L300 FX Surface Cleaning Disc is a high-performance abrasive tool engineered for the efficient removal of surface contaminants in industrial environments. Manufactured by Walter Surface Technologies, this 3-inch disc features a durable, non-woven synthetic web structure impregnated with aggressive abrasive grains. This unique composition allows the disc to strip away rust, paint, scale, and epoxy coatings effectively while maintaining the dimensional integrity of the workpiece. Unlike rigid grinding wheels, the FX disc offers a degree of flexibility, allowing it to conform to contours and uneven surfaces for a uniform finish.

Integrated with the TWIST quick-change system, the 04L300 is designed for high-productivity workflows. Operators can swap discs in seconds with a simple quarter-turn motion, eliminating the need for tools and significantly reducing downtime during multi-step finishing processes. The disc is compatible with standard die grinders equipped with a TWIST backing pad, making it a versatile addition to any MRO or fabrication toolkit. Its open-web design promotes airflow, ensuring cool operation that prevents heat discoloration on sensitive alloys like stainless steel and aluminum.

Technical Reliability and Safety

The Walter FX series is formulated to resist loading, a common issue when removing gummy or soft materials such as sealants and heavy paints. This resistance to clogging ensures consistent cutting action throughout the life of the disc. Furthermore, the non-woven construction eliminates the safety hazards associated with wire brushes, such as wire fatigue and bristle projection, providing a safer alternative for operators. Rated for high-speed operation up to 28,000 RPM, the 04L300 delivers rapid material removal rates without sacrificing control or surface quality.

Ideal for surface preparation prior to welding, the FX disc ensures a clean substrate free of contaminants that could compromise weld quality. It is equally effective for post-weld cleaning, removing heat tint and discoloration with ease. Whether utilized in automotive restoration, structural steel fabrication, or general plant maintenance, the Walter 04L300 FX Surface Cleaning Disc represents a standard of excellence in surface conditioning technology.
