15M144 - Walter 4.5 Inch Turbo Backing Pad for COOLCUT XX

Keep Your Grind Cool and Fast

Every welder knows that a hot disc stops cutting. When your sanding disc gets too hot, it glazes over, stops removing metal, and you end up wasting time and money throwing away discs that should have lasted longer. The Walter 15M144 4-1/2" Turbo Backing Pad is the solution to this common shop problem. Specifically designed to back up the COOLCUT XX series and other resin fiber discs, this pad uses simple physics to improve your daily grind.

The secret lies in the ribbed design on the face of the pad. When you fire up your 4-1/2" grinder, those ribs spin and create a layer of air between the pad and the disc. This "Turbo" effect pulls heat away from the metal and the abrasive grain. The result? Your disc stays sharp longer, and you don't have to push as hard to get the job done. The black material indicates a firm density, giving you the support you need for bearing down on welds and heavy stock removal without the pad collapsing under pressure.

This backing pad also features a saucer shape that naturally positions your grinder at the correct angle for sanding, helping you avoid gouging the base metal. It's tough, durable, and built by Walter Surface Technologies—a brand that understands what fabricators need. Whether you are prepping a surface for painting, blending a weld seam, or removing heavy rust, the 15M144 helps you get the most out of every single sanding disc in your toolbox. Stop burning through consumables and start grinding smarter with the right backing pad.

Why Welders Choose This Pad:

• Longer Disc Life: Airflow keeps the abrasive cutting, not burning.
• Better Control: Firm backing allows for precise edge work and heavy grinding.
• Universal Fit: Fits standard 4-1/2" angle grinders using resin fiber discs.
