OVERVIEW

Master the Art of Satin Finishing

Take your metal finishing to the next level with the Walter Blendex Drum Wheel. If you are fabricating stainless steel railings, restoring vintage car parts, or simply need to clean up a metal surface without changing its shape, this is the tool for the job. The 07M324 is a Fine grit drum designed to fit your linear finisher (like the Line-Mate), giving you the power to create those professional, factory-grade brushed finishes right in your own shop.

What makes the Blendex drum special is its forgiving nature. It uses a non-woven nylon web impregnated with abrasive grain. This "cushioned" effect means the wheel conforms to the surface, allowing you to blend curves and flat sections seamlessly without digging in or creating flat spots. The Fine grit is perfect for that final pass—smoothing out coarser scratches and leaving a bright, uniform grain that looks incredible on stainless steel appliances, boat fittings, and architectural trim.

Heat is the enemy of a good finish, especially on stainless steel where it can cause unsightly "sugaring" or discoloration. The open structure of this drum runs cool, keeping your workpiece safe and ensuring the abrasive doesn't gum up, even when you're working on gummy metals like aluminum. Whether you are cleaning up TIG welds or refurbishing old brass, this drum wheel provides the control and consistency professional welders demand.

Why Welders Choose This Drum:

Shadow-Free Results: No jarring transition lines; just smooth, continuous grain.
Versatility: Works on almost any metal—Steel, Stainless, Aluminum, Brass, Copper.
Long Life: The abrasive grain is distributed throughout the wheel, exposing fresh cutting edges as it wears.
Cool Running: Reduces the risk of warping thin sheet metal.

FAQ

The 07M324 is designed for linear finishing tools with a 5/8" arbor, such as the Walter Line-Mate III. It may also fit other brands of burnishers that accept 4-1/4" x 2" drums with a 5/8" shaft.

This specific wheel (07M324) is 'Fine' grit. In the Blendex system, this is typically used for refining scratches from Medium grit wheels or for achieving a final satin finish.

Yes, the Blendex non-woven material is excellent for aluminum. Its open structure resists loading (clogging), which is a common issue when grinding soft metals like aluminum.

The maximum rated speed is generally 3,800 RPM. However, for the best finishing results, it is often recommended to run linear finishing drums at lower speeds (typically 1,000 - 2,000 RPM) to prevent heat buildup.

No, this is a finishing and blending tool, not a heavy stock removal tool. For removing heavy weld seams, you should start with a coated abrasive belt or flap wheel before switching to this Blendex drum for the final finish.

No, the Blendex Drum Wheel is impregnated with abrasive grain and is designed to be used dry. Polishing pastes are typically reserved for felt or cotton drums when aiming for a mirror finish.

A flap wheel (sandpaper) cuts more aggressively and removes material. This non-woven drum is for conditioning and finishing; it modifies the surface texture without significantly altering the part's dimensions.

Generally, non-woven drums can be run in either direction, but you should always check the arrow markings on the product label. Consistent direction is key for a uniform linear finish.
