OVERVIEW

Keep Your Discs Cool and Your Grinder Running

Every welder knows that heat kills sanding discs. When a disc gets too hot, it stops cutting and starts glazing over, forcing you to throw it away while it still has grain left. The Walter 15M145 4-1/2" White Turbo Pad is the solution to burning through stacks of fiber discs. It’s not just a piece of plastic; it’s a tool designed to save you money and time in the shop.

The secret is in the ribs. This "Turbo" pad has a textured face that allows air to flow between the pad and the sanding disc while it spins. This airflow acts like a fan, pulling heat away from the metal and the disc itself. Cooler discs cut faster and last way longer. If you are using high-quality discs like the COOLCUT XX, you are wasting money if you mount them on a cheap, flat rubber pad that traps heat. This white pad gives you the right amount of flex for blending welds and finishing surfaces without digging in or gouging the metal.

Designed for standard 4-1/2 inch angle grinders, this pad is tough enough to handle daily abuse in a fabrication shop. The saucer shape helps you hold the grinder at the right angle, making it more comfortable to blend out long seams or clean up surface imperfections. Whether you are working on stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, upgrading your backing pad is one of the cheapest ways to improve your grinding performance.

Why Welders Choose This Pad:

  • Saves Consumables: Your sanding discs last longer because they don't overheat.
  • Better Finishes: The white pad has the right flex for smooth blending.
  • Cooler Grinding: Less heat into the part means less warping on thin metals.
  • Rugged Build: Made by Walter, so you know it stands up to heavy use.

FAQ

The ribs create channels for airflow behind the sanding disc. As the pad spins, this airflow dissipates heat, keeping the disc cool and extending its lifespan.

In Walter's color-coding system, the white pad typically indicates a specific level of flexibility, suitable for general purpose sanding and blending where some conformity to the surface is needed.

Yes, it fits standard 4-1/2" resin fiber discs, but it is specifically optimized for Walter COOLCUT XX discs to maximize their performance.

This pad is designed for 4-1/2 inch (115mm) angle grinders.

Typically, backing pads are sold separately from the locking nut. You would use the clamping nut provided with your angle grinder or a compatible Walter clamping nut.

The white Turbo Pad offers a balance of support and flexibility, making it versatile for both stock removal and finishing applications.

The saucer shape provides a better angle of attack for the abrasive, allowing for more comfortable operation and more efficient use of the disc's surface area.

Yes, by keeping the abrasive interface cooler, it significantly reduces the risk of heat discoloration or warping on the metal surface.
