OVERVIEW

Tough Pad for M14 Grinders

If you are running an angle grinder with an M14 spindle, you know that finding the right accessories can sometimes be a hassle. The Walter 15D042 is a 4-1/2" backing pad built specifically for your setup. It’s not just a piece of plastic; it’s the anchor for your sanding discs. When you are leaning into a weld seam or stripping rust, you need a pad that won't crack, warp, or shatter. Walter is known for making gear that survives the metal shop environment, and this backing pad is no exception.

This pad is made from high-impact plastic that takes a beating. Whether you are smoothing out a repair or prepping a surface for painting, the pad offers just the right amount of flex. It lets you work on slightly curved parts without digging in the edge of the disc, but it's stiff enough to let you apply pressure when you need to hog off material. It holds your resin fiber discs securely, ensuring you get the most life out of every abrasive you slap on your grinder.

Don't risk your safety or your finish with a cheap, brittle pad that might fly apart. The 15D042 is designed to handle the heat and the speed of daily grinding. It screws directly onto M14 spindles, giving you a solid, vibration-free connection. Keep a few of these in your toolbox so you aren't left scrambling when your old pad finally gives up the ghost. It’s a simple tool, but it’s built to work as hard as you do.
