September 6, 2018

This year’s CanWeld Conference & Expo attendees can expect an innovative range of powerful, efficient and versatile products from Walter Surface Technologies, the global leader in surface treatment technologies. Held at the RBC Convention Centre in Winnipeg on September 12 and 13, Walter will showcase its Enduro-Flex ALU™ blending and finishing discs, ICECUT™ line of magnetic drills and annular cutters, as well as improvements to its Instant PolishT™ and Ultimate Shine™ flap discs.

"Walter has an exceptional line-up of innovations that puts our customers at the very centre of shop-floor productivity," explains Dan Pirro, Vice-President of Marketing at Walter Surface Technologies. "We understand the many challenges metalworkers face and look forward to presenting our new white paper on innovative approaches to working with aluminum, as well as sharing many other product advancements and productivity programs at Walter booth 221."

Walter Vice-President of Research and Development Patrick Lapointe will present Shop-Floor Challenges When Working with Aluminum: Examining Approaches to Innovative Solutions at Program Room 2F East, September 13 at 2:30 pm.

Enduro-Flex ALU™ flap discs are specially formulated to maximize performance and productivity. Iron-free, sulfur-free and chlorine-free, their superior zirconia alumina grain blend optimizes blending and finishing performance on virtually any aluminum surface. The discs also offer the highest removal rate in the industry and superior performance on non-ferrous alloys.

Metalworkers seeking powerful and versatile magnetic drilling units and annular cutters can look to Walter’s ICECUT™ line. ICECUT™ 100 and 200 mag drills are lightweight champs that punch above their weight. ACCUDRILL™ technology protects against overload, overheating and reduces cutter breakage risk.

Versatile ICECUT™ one-speed and two-speed mag drills feature ergonomic controls, mandrel supports and integrated wiring – among many other key advantages – that deliver precision, safety and high performance to projects.

Metalworkers also have two outstanding choices for polishing and finishing projects thanks to Walter’s all-new Instant Polish™ and Ultimate Shine™ flap discs.

Instant Polish™ flap discs enable workers to achieve No. 8 mirror finishes in a single step. The discs are safe on stainless steel, steel and non-ferrous metals. When superior removal rates and ultra high-performance finishing capability are a priority, look to Walter’s Ultimate Shine™ flap discs. As a second step to an exceptional mirror finish, Ultimate Shine™ flap discs ensure consistent finishes time and time again.
