OVERVIEW

Master the Art of Linear Finishing with Walter Blendex Drums

The Walter 07M445 Blendex Drum in Super Fine grit is an essential tool for industrial metalworkers seeking a flawless, shadow-free finish on flat surfaces and tubing. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this 4-1/2" x 4" drum is designed to work seamlessly with linear finishing machines, such as the Line-Mate system, to produce consistent grain lines and high-quality satin finishes. The "Super Fine" grade is specifically formulated for the final stages of finishing, where enhancing the shine and uniformity of the metal is paramount.

Constructed from premium non-woven abrasive materials, the Blendex drum excels at blending, cleaning, and polishing without altering the geometry of the workpiece. Its open-web structure promotes cool running, significantly reducing the risk of heat discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel and aluminum. This makes it an ideal choice for food processing equipment, architectural railings, and pharmaceutical tanks where aesthetic quality and surface hygiene are critical.

Durability is a hallmark of the Blendex line. The drum maintains its shape and abrasive consistency throughout its lifespan, ensuring that the finish you achieve on the first pass is identical to the finish on the last. Whether you are removing minor surface imperfections, blending in welds, or simply restoring a bright finish to tarnished brass or copper, this tool delivers professional results with minimal effort. It is a versatile solution for maintenance, repair, and fabrication shops handling a diverse range of alloys.

Integrating this drum into your finishing process allows for increased productivity and reduced rework. The 4-inch width covers a substantial surface area, speeding up operations on large sheets or long sections of pipe. By utilizing the Super Fine grit, operators can achieve a refined, decorative finish that meets the highest industrial standards.
