14B042 - Walter Inox Plus 1/2" x 18" File Belt - 120 Grit for Stainless Steel

Professional Grade Belts for Tight Spaces

For welders and fabricators, reaching into tight corners or finishing intricate profiles requires tools that are tough and reliable. The Walter 1/2" x 18" Inox Plus File Belt (120 Grit) is built to handle the rigors of daily metal fabrication. Whether you are cleaning up a TIG weld in a corner or deburring a machined part, these belts provide the control and longevity needed to get the job done right the first time.

Standard sanding belts often fail when subjected to the heat and pressure of grinding stainless steel. The Walter Inox Plus series is different. It features a premium abrasive grain infused with cooling additives that prevent the belt from glazing over or burning the metal. This means you can grind longer without stopping to let the part cool down, and you won't have to worry about the dreaded blue heat tint that ruins the look of stainless steel projects. The 120 grit finish is perfect for the final stages of blending, leaving a smooth, uniform surface ready for polishing or painting.

The construction of the belt is just as impressive as its cutting ability. The Y-polyester backing is stiff enough to allow for aggressive pressure when needed but flexible enough to contour around curves. The butt-joint splice is flush with the belt thickness, ensuring that the belt runs smoothly over the contact wheel without the annoying "thump" found in cheaper lap-joint belts. This smooth operation reduces operator fatigue and results in a more consistent finish.

Key Benefits for Welders

• Cool Cutting: Formulated to prevent heat discoloration on stainless steel.
• Long Life: Durable backing and premium grain outlast standard belts.
• Smooth Operation: Butt-joint design eliminates chatter and vibration.
• Versatile: Excellent for both stainless steel and aluminum fabrication.
