OVERVIEW

Make Your Sanding Discs Last Longer

Are you tired of burning through sanding discs way too fast? The Walter 4-1/2" Turbo Pad (Black) is designed to solve exactly that problem. Heat is the enemy of abrasive discs; it causes them to glaze over and stop cutting effectively. Walter's innovative Turbo design features raised ribs on the face of the pad that create an air gap behind the disc. As your grinder spins, these ribs circulate air, keeping both the pad and the disc cool even during heavy grinding sessions.

This black backing pad offers the perfect balance of flexibility and stiffness for general grinding jobs. Whether you are smoothing out welds, removing rust, or prepping surfaces, this pad supports your resin fiber discs securely while letting them breathe. The result? You get more work out of every single disc, saving you money on consumables in the long run. Plus, a cooler disc means less risk of burning or discoloring your metal.

Upgrade your 4-1/2 inch grinder with the Walter 15M044 Turbo Pad. It's a simple, affordable accessory that pays for itself by extending the life of your sanding discs and helping you work more efficiently. Don't just grind harder—grind smarter with Walter's air-cooled technology. Ideal for use with all standard resin fiber discs.

Ribbed pads keep the disc cooler. A cooler disc cuts faster and lasts longer because the abrasive grains don't get clogged or glazed by heat as quickly.

The black pad is standard density for general use, while the orange pad is typically softer and more flexible for finer finishing and contour work.
