15M055 - Walter 15-M-055 5-Inch Flexible White Turbo Backing Pad

Keep Your Discs Cool and Your Finish Smooth

If you are tired of burning through sanding discs or overheating your metal, it's time to upgrade your backing pad. The Walter 15M055 5" White Turbo Pad is built to solve the two biggest problems in sanding: heat and stiffness. This isn't just a piece of plastic that holds your sandpaper; it's a performance tool that actually helps you grind better.

Why choose the White Turbo Pad?
The "White" color code on this Walter pad means it is flexible. If you do a lot of body work, tank fabrication, or pipe blending, you know that a rock-hard backing pad can cause flat spots and gouges on curved metal. This flexible pad gives just enough to follow the shape of your metal, letting you blend welds smoothly without digging in. It is perfect for that final sanding stage where finish quality matters more than hogging off material.

The Turbo Difference
See those ribs on the face of the pad? They aren't just for looks. When you spin this pad up to 10,000+ RPM, those ribs act like a turbine fan. They pull air in and push it behind your sanding disc. This constant airflow keeps the disc and the metal cool. Cooler grinding means your sandpaper doesn't glaze over as fast, so you get more work out of every single disc. It also helps prevent heat warping or blue discoloration on stainless steel.

This pad fits your standard 5-inch grinder and comes with the clamping nut you need to get started. Whether you are prepping for paint or putting a final finish on a railing, the Walter 15M055 helps you do it faster and cheaper by making your consumables last longer.
