14X158 - Coolcut XX 1-1/2 x 30 Inch Ceramic Abrasive Belt, 80 Grit

Premium Ceramic Abrasive Belt for Industrial Finishing

The Walter Coolcut XX Belt (SKU: 14X158) represents the pinnacle of coated abrasive technology, designed specifically for high-demand industrial environments. Measuring 1-1/2 inches by 30 inches with an 80 grit profile, this belt is engineered to deliver exceptional performance across a variety of metals, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. At the core of its performance is Walter's exclusive Cyclone™ Technology, a proprietary blend of premium ceramic abrasive grains. Unlike conventional aluminum oxide or zirconia belts, ceramic grains are engineered to micro-fracture during use, continuously exposing sharp, fresh cutting edges. This self-sharpening mechanism ensures that the removal rate remains aggressive and consistent throughout the entire life of the belt, preventing the glazing and dulling that often plague lesser abrasives.

For applications involving stainless steel, chemical purity is paramount. The Coolcut XX features a guaranteed Fe-Free formulation, ensuring that the abrasive does not introduce iron contaminants onto the workpiece surface, thereby preventing rust and corrosion issues down the line. The abrasive is bonded to a highly flexible cloth backing, which allows the belt to conform seamlessly to curved surfaces, tubes, and complex contours without cracking or shedding. This flexibility makes it an ideal choice for finishing round stock or blending welds on radiused corners. The 80 grit specification provides a perfect balance between material removal and surface finish, making it suitable for intermediate grinding stages where leveling weld beads and preparing surfaces for final polishing are required. By maintaining a cool cutting action, the belt also minimizes heat buildup, reducing the risk of heat discoloration or warping on thin-walled materials.
