Walter 7-Inch Flexible Turbo-Action Backing Pad - White

Superior Flexibility and Cooling for 7-Inch Grinders

Unlock the full potential of your abrasive inventory with the Walter 15M008 White Turbo-Action Backing Pad. Designed for the professional metalworker, this 7-inch backing pad combines advanced cooling geometry with a flexible material composition to solve common finishing challenges. While standard black pads are excellent for heavy stock removal, this white variant is formulated for flexibility, making it the perfect choice for sanding curved surfaces, blending radii, and performing fine finishing tasks without altering the geometry of the base metal.

Turbo-Action Cooling Technology

One of the standout features of the 15M008 is its saucer-shaped, ribbed construction. These specially designed ribs create a gap between the pad and the fiber disc, allowing air to flow freely during operation. This "turbo" effect actively pulls heat away from the grinding zone. The result is a dramatic reduction in glazing and disc loading, allowing you to get up to 30% more life out of every sanding disc. For welders working with stainless steel, this cooling action is vital for avoiding heat tint and warping.

Precision Finishing

The "White" classification denotes this pad's soft, flexible density. When applying final finishes or blending welds on irregular shapes, a rigid pad can cause flat spots or deep scratches. The Walter 15M008 yields slightly under pressure, following the contours of the work piece for a consistent, even scratch pattern. It is best paired with resin fiber discs in grits 100 through 120 and beyond. The pad includes a high-quality clamping nut for immediate installation on your 7-inch angle grinder. Enhance your shop's efficiency and finish quality with this premium backing pad solution.
