14B128 - Walter Inox+ 3/4" x 24" File Belt - 80 Grit

Premium Finishing for Stainless Steel and Alloys

The Walter Inox+ File Belt (SKU: 14B128) represents the pinnacle of abrasive technology for portable file sanders. Designed specifically for the demanding requirements of industrial metal fabrication, this 3/4" x 24" belt is engineered to deliver exceptional results on stainless steel, aluminum, and other heat-sensitive alloys. The core advantage of the Inox+ line lies in its specialized topcoat, which contains advanced cooling agents. These additives actively reduce friction and heat generation at the contact point, effectively preventing heat discoloration (blueing) and warping of the workpiece—a critical factor when finishing high-value stainless steel components.

Durability is paramount in file belt applications where belts are subjected to high tension and sharp contours. Walter utilizes an extra heavy-duty Y-polyester backing that provides superior tensile strength and resistance to stretching. This robust backing ensures that the belt maintains its structural integrity even when used aggressively on edges or corners. Furthermore, the belt features a precision-engineered butt-joint. Unlike traditional lap joints that create a "bump" with every revolution, the butt-joint ensures a seamless, smooth operation. This not only improves the quality of the finish by eliminating chatter marks but also extends the life of the belt and the tool's contact wheel.

With an 80 grit rating, this belt serves as an excellent intermediate solution, capable of light weld removal and blending while preparing the surface for finer finishing steps. Whether you are deburring intricate profiles, cleaning up TIG welds in tight radii, or blending surfaces in architectural metalwork, the Walter Inox+ belt delivers consistent performance and a uniform scratch pattern. It is the professional's choice for achieving a flawless finish on challenging materials without the risk of thermal damage.
