Every welder knows that heat is the enemy of abrasive life. When a grinding disc gets too hot, it stops cutting and starts slipping, wasting your time and money. The Walter 5-Inch Turbo Backing Pad (SKU: 15D054) is the solution to this problem. Designed with unique cooling ribs, this backing pad acts like a fan for your grinder, circulating air behind the disc to pull heat away from the contact point. This simple yet effective technology can dramatically extend the life of your resin fiber discs, meaning fewer disc changes and more time spent getting the job done.
Beyond just cooling, this backing pad is built to withstand the abuse of the welding shop. It is made from a high-quality, impact-resistant material that won't crack or shatter if dropped. The flexibility of the pad is tuned perfectly—stiff enough to drive the grain into the metal for heavy grinding, but forgiving enough to smooth out welds on pipes or rounded corners without gouging. Whether you are prepping a joint or finishing a fabrication, the feel and feedback provided by this Walter pad give you the confidence to work efficiently.
Installation is a breeze with the integrated 5/8"-11 metal thread, which screws directly onto your 5-inch angle grinder spindle. It holds the disc flat and secure, reducing vibration and operator fatigue during long grinding sessions. Don't let a cheap backing pad hold back your productivity. Upgrade to the Walter Turbo Backing Pad and experience smoother grinding, cooler cuts, and longer-lasting abrasives. It is the professional's choice for maximizing the performance of any resin fiber disc.
