14C218 - Walter COOLCUT 1-1/2 Inch x 50 Yards 180 Grit Aluminum Oxide Shop Roll

Essential Surface Preparation with Walter 180 Grit Shop Rolls

For professional welders and fabricators, surface preparation is the foundation of a quality weld. The Walter 14C218 COOLCUT™ Shop Roll offers a reliable and efficient solution for cleaning, deburring, and finishing metal surfaces before and after welding. With a fine 180 grit, this abrasive cloth is ideal for removing light rust, oxidation, and contaminants that could compromise weld integrity, as well as for blending surfaces to a smooth finish.

The shop roll features a tough cotton cloth backing that withstands the demands of a metalworking shop. Unlike paper-backed abrasives that shred easily, this cloth-backed roll can be used aggressively on rough edges and contours. It is particularly effective for cleaning pipe ends, deburring cut tubing, and polishing cylindrical parts on a lathe. The flexibility of the cloth ensures that the abrasive maintains contact with the workpiece, providing an even finish without gouging.

Walter's COOLCUT technology ensures that the abrasive cuts cool, preventing heat distortion on thin gauge metals. The 1-1/2 inch width is perfectly sized for hand sanding or for use in holders, while the 50-yard length ensures you have plenty of material to last through big projects. This shop roll is a versatile addition to any welder's toolbox, capable of handling everything from removing stamping marks to final polishing.

Applications for Welders:

• Pre-Weld Cleaning: Effectively removes surface contaminants and oxides from base metals.
• Deburring: Smooths sharp edges on cut pipes, tubes, and plates.
• Blending: Blends repair areas and scratches for a uniform appearance.
• Finishing: Provides a fine, polished finish on stainless steel and aluminum fabrications.
• Lathe Work: Ideal for polishing rotating parts safely and efficiently.
