Walter 4-1/2" Turbo Backing Pad - White (Flexible)

Get More Life Out of Your Sanding Discs

Stop throwing away sanding discs that are only half-used. The Walter 15M045 Turbo Backing Pad is an investment that pays for itself by maximizing the efficiency of your consumables. Standard backing pads trap heat against the disc, causing it to glaze over and stop cutting. The Walter Turbo Pad solves this problem with its innovative ribbed design, which generates a powerful airflow between the pad and the disc. This cooling effect keeps the abrasive sharp and cutting aggressively for much longer, saving you money on replacement discs and reducing downtime spent changing them out.

The Perfect Choice for Curves and Contours

Not all grinding jobs happen on flat steel plates. When you are working on tanks, fenders, pipes, or ornamental pieces, you need a backing pad that works with you, not against you. The White Turbo Pad is engineered with a soft, flexible density. This allows the sanding disc to bend slightly and hug the contours of your workpiece. The result is a smooth, consistent blend without the risk of creating flat spots or deep scratches that rigid pads often leave behind.

Shop Efficiency and Comfort

Beyond saving money on discs, the 15M045 improves the operator experience. The flexibility of the pad absorbs some of the harsh vibrations typically associated with angle grinding, leading to less hand fatigue over long shifts. Whether you are blending stainless steel welds or prepping aluminum for paint, this backing pad provides the control and forgiveness needed for a professional finish. It fits standard 4-1/2" grinders with a 5/8"-11 spindle and includes the necessary clamping nut for immediate use.

• Cooler Grinding: Airflow channels reduce heat by up to 30%.
• Better Finish: Flexible material conforms to shapes for smooth blending.
• Cost Savings: Extends the usable life of every fiber disc you mount.
