OVERVIEW

Keep Your Discs Cool and Your Finish Smooth

Welders know that a hot disc stops cutting long before it's actually worn out. The Walter 6" White Turbo Backing Pad (15-M-065) is the solution to overheating abrasives. Designed with specialized cooling ribs, this backing pad acts like a fan for your grinder, forcing air between the pad and the fiber disc. This active cooling effect prevents heat buildup, allowing you to grind longer and faster without wasting money on burnt-out discs.

Not all backing pads are created equal. This White version is formulated for flexibility. Unlike rigid black pads that are built for heavy stock removal on flat surfaces, this flexible pad allows the abrasive to conform to curves, pipes, and irregular shapes. This makes it perfect for blending radii, finishing automotive parts, or smoothing out welds on rounded structures without gouging the metal.

Durability is standard with Walter Surface Technologies. The pad is constructed from high-impact plastic that resists cracking even under the stress of high-RPM grinding. It comes complete with a clamping nut, ready to mount on your 6-inch grinder. Upgrade your abrasive setup with a backing pad that actually helps you work smarter, not harder.

Why Choose the White Turbo Pad?

  • Contour Capability: Flexible material hugs curves for a seamless blend.
  • Cost Savings: Cooler running temps mean you use fewer discs per job.
  • Consistent Finish: Reduces the risk of heat discoloration on stainless steel and aluminum.
  • Universal Fit: Works with all standard 6" resin fiber discs and 5/8"-11 grinders.

FAQ

The color indicates the hardness or density of the pad. The White pad (15-M-065) is flexible, making it ideal for curved surfaces, contours, and finishing work. The Black pad is medium/hard, designed for flat surfaces and heavy stock removal.

Yes, the Walter Turbo backing pad typically includes the necessary clamping nut to secure the resin fiber disc to the pad.

This pad is designed for 6-inch angle grinders with a standard 5/8"-11 spindle thread.

No, this backing pad is specifically designed for resin fiber sanding discs. Flap discs have their own built-in backing plate and do not require a separate pad.

The ribbed design creates air channels that pull cool air in and expel hot air during rotation. This keeps the abrasive grains and the workpiece cooler, preventing premature glazing and burning of the disc.

The maximum safe operating speed for the 15-M-065 pad is 10,000 RPM. Always ensure your grinder's speed does not exceed this rating.

Yes, it is excellent for stainless steel. The cooling effect helps prevent heat tinting and warping, and the flexibility allows for smooth blending on stainless finishes.

No, you must use 6-inch resin fiber discs with this 6-inch backing pad to ensure proper support and safety.
