Walter Field-Mate Linear Finishing Tool

Bring the Shop to the Field

When you're out on a job site, you need tools that are as tough and versatile as you are. The Walter Field-Mate is the ultimate portable solution for finishing metal surfaces without hauling the workpiece back to the shop. Whether you are installing stainless steel railings, repairing food processing tanks, or cleaning up welds on architectural structures, the Field-Mate gives you the power to grind, glaze, and polish right where the work is. It’s built to handle the daily abuse of field work, with a rugged housing and a motor that doesn't quit when you lean into it.

Comfort and ease of use are built right in. The Field-Mate features an ergonomic design with a vibration-dampening side handle that can be adjusted to suit your grip, reducing fatigue during long shifts. Changing out abrasives is quick and tool-free for most drums, meaning less downtime and more time getting the job done. You can easily switch from a coarse grit for cleaning up a weld to a fine scotch-brite style drum for putting that final satin sheen on a handrail. The variable speed dial is conveniently located, allowing you to dial down the speed for delicate polishing or crank it up for aggressive cleaning.

Forget about struggling with hand pads or trying to get a straight grain with a standard grinder. The Field-Mate's linear action makes it easy to match existing grain lines on stainless steel appliances and fixtures. It’s the secret weapon for making repairs look like they never happened. From removing heat tint and scratches to creating a mirror finish, this tool puts professional-grade finishing power in your hands, wherever the job takes you.
