OVERVIEW

Get Into Tight Spaces with Precision

When you are working on detailed metal fabrication or cleaning up welds in hard-to-reach corners, the Walter 1-1/2" Twist Backing Pad - Medium is the tool you need to get the job done right. Designed for welders and fabricators who demand efficiency, this backing pad turns your die grinder into a versatile finishing machine. The small 1-1/2 inch diameter is perfect for focusing on small weld seams, spot repairs, and intricate metalwork where larger 4-1/2 inch grinders simply cannot fit.

The "Medium" density of this pad is the sweet spot for most shop applications. It isn't so hard that it gouges the metal, but it isn't so soft that it rounds over edges you want to keep crisp. It provides just enough give to follow the shape of the metal while keeping your sanding or conditioning disc flat against the work surface. This ensures you get a smooth, professional blend every time, whether you are prepping aluminum for welding or polishing stainless steel.

Time is money in the welding shop, and the Twist quick-change system saves you plenty of it. Instead of fumbling with wrenches to change a worn-out disc, you simply twist the old one off and twist a new one on. It takes seconds. The pad includes a rugged 1/4" mandrel stem, so it pops right into your air die grinder or electric rotary tool. The molded polyurethane body is tough enough to handle the heat generated during aggressive grinding, ensuring this pad stays in your toolbox for the long haul.

Why Welders Choose This Pad

  • Fast Disc Swaps: Change grits instantly without tools.
  • Perfect Control: Small size allows for surgical precision on small parts.
  • Consistent Finish: Even support prevents high spots and uneven sanding marks.
