07U613 - Walter Blendex U 6-Inch Unitized Wheel - 6AM Medium Grit

Advanced Unitized Technology for Precision Finishing

The Walter 07U613 Blendex U Unitized Wheel represents the pinnacle of non-woven abrasive technology, designed to deliver consistent, high-quality finishes across a wide spectrum of industrial applications. Engineered with a compressed, unitized construction, this 6-inch wheel integrates abrasive grain directly into a nylon web, creating a dense yet flexible tool that excels at deburring, blending, and cleaning without compromising the dimensional integrity of the workpiece. The "6AM" specification denotes a medium density (6) paired with Aluminum Oxide (A) grain in a Medium (M) grit, offering a versatile solution for general-purpose finishing tasks where a balance between cut rate and surface smoothness is required.

One of the standout features of the Blendex U series is its non-loading capability. Unlike traditional bonded abrasive wheels that can quickly clog when working with softer materials, the open structure of the Blendex U resists loading, making it an exceptional choice for processing aluminum, copper, and brass. This characteristic ensures that the wheel maintains its cutting efficiency throughout its lifespan, reducing downtime associated with wheel changes or dressing. Furthermore, the wheel is safe for use on all metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, and various alloys, making it a universal tool for diverse MRO environments.

Designed for versatility, this wheel features a 1-inch arbor and 1-inch width, making it compatible with a variety of stationary bench grinders and portable straight grinders equipped with appropriate guards. Whether utilized on the edge for tight corners or the face for broader surfaces, the wheel wears uniformly, exposing fresh abrasive grain to maintain a consistent finish from the first pass to the last. This predictability is crucial for precision manufacturing and maintenance operations where surface quality cannot be compromised.

Technical Specifications & Applications

The 07U613 is specifically formulated to resist heat buildup, preventing discoloration or warping on heat-sensitive materials like thin-gauge stainless steel. Its conformability allows it to follow the contours of the part, effectively removing burrs and sharp edges while leaving a smooth, paint-ready surface. It is an indispensable tool for machine shops, fabrication plants, and maintenance departments requiring a reliable solution for edge breaking, scratch removal, and surface conditioning.
