14B103 - Walter Inox Plus 3/4 x 18 Inch 36 Grit Sanding Belt

High-Performance Abrasive Belts for Industrial Finishing

The Walter 14B103 Inox Plus File Belt is a premium abrasive solution engineered specifically for the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication. Designed to fit portable file belt sanders, this 3/4-inch by 18-inch belt utilizes a coarse 36 grit to deliver aggressive material removal rates without compromising the integrity of the workpiece. In professional environments where efficiency and finish quality are paramount, the Inox Plus series stands out by incorporating advanced cooling agents directly into the abrasive matrix. This technology significantly reduces surface temperature during operation, effectively preventing heat discoloration, warping, or "blueing" on sensitive metals like stainless steel.

Durability is a core component of the Walter 14B103 design. The belt is constructed on a heavy-duty Y-polyester backing, a material chosen for its exceptional tensile strength and resistance to stretching. This stiff backing allows operators to apply the necessary pressure for grinding down welds or deburring edges without fear of the belt snapping or deforming. Furthermore, the belt features a precision-engineered butt-joint. Unlike traditional lap joints that can create a "bump" with every rotation, the butt-joint ensures a seamless, smooth operation. This results in a consistent finish and reduces vibration, thereby lowering operator fatigue during extended use.

This product is particularly effective for complex finishing tasks. Whether blending corner welds, cleaning inside channels, or contouring irregular shapes, the Inox Plus belt maintains its cutting power throughout its lifespan. It is an essential consumable for fabrication shops working with stainless steel, aluminum, and other alloys where maintaining a cool cutting zone is critical to the final aesthetic and structural quality of the part.
