OVERVIEW

Get the Best Finish with the Right Backing Pad

When you're in the middle of a finishing job, the last thing you want is a wobbly disc or a stripped mount. The Walter 48R575 Backing Pad Assembly is built to handle the demands of professional metal finishing. Designed to hold 5-3/8" conditioning discs, this pad is the perfect partner for your angle grinder when you need to clean up welds, remove oxidation, or put a satin finish on stainless steel.

This isn't just a piece of plastic; it's a high-performance mount that helps your abrasives last longer. The pad provides just enough cushion to let the disc work with the metal rather than fighting against it, reducing operator fatigue and improving the look of the final product. It screws directly onto any grinder with a standard 5/8"-11 spindle, so you can swap it out quickly and get back to work.

Don't compromise your finish by using a worn-out or ill-fitting pad. The Walter 48R575 ensures your BLENDEX or similar discs stay centered and secure, giving you smooth, chatter-free operation every time you pull the trigger.
