04X202 - 2-Inch TWIST Medium Density Backing Pad with 1/4-Inch Mandrel

Maximize Your Die Grinder's Potential

When you are in the middle of a fabrication job, time spent changing out worn abrasive discs is time lost. The Walter 04X202 2" TWIST™ Backing Pad is built to keep you grinding and blending with minimal interruption. Designed for use with 2-inch quick-change discs, this pad features the secure TWIST™ locking system. A simple turn locks your sanding or grinding disc in place, handling speeds up to 30,000 RPM without wobbling or flying off. When the disc is spent, a quick reverse turn pops it off, and you are ready for the next grit in seconds.

This specific pad is the Orange, Medium density model. Why does density matter? A medium pad gives you the perfect middle ground for general fabrication. It is hard enough to back up a grinding disc when you need to take down a small weld, but it has enough give to flex when you are blending a radius or contouring a corner. It helps prevent you from digging in too deep and gouging the metal, which saves you from having to fix mistakes later. The molded polyurethane body is tough—it resists the heat generated during aggressive grinding and won't crack or degrade as quickly as cheap rubber pads.

The 04X202 comes ready to run with a 1/4" mandrel included, so it fits right into your straight or right-angle air die grinder. Whether you are working on stainless steel tanks, cleaning up aluminum welds, or doing general mild steel prep, this backing pad provides the consistent support your abrasives need to cut smooth and last longer. It is an essential accessory for any welder's toolbox who relies on small diameter abrasives for detail work.
