OVERVIEW

Precision Backing Pad for Surface Conditioning

The Walter Surface Technologies 48R575 Backing Pad Assembly is a critical accessory designed to optimize the performance of non-woven abrasive discs. Engineered specifically for 5-3/8 inch (135mm) surface conditioning discs, such as the Walter BLENDEX series, this assembly ensures that your abrasives are mounted securely and concentrically for vibration-free operation.

Constructed from high-quality, durable materials, the pad offers the ideal balance of rigidity and flexibility. This allows the abrasive disc to contour slightly to the workpiece, ensuring consistent contact and a uniform finish without gouging. The assembly features a standard 5/8"-11 internal thread, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial angle grinders and variable speed polishing tools commonly found in metal fabrication shops.

Proper mounting is essential for safety and efficiency. The 48R575 includes the necessary clamping hardware to lock the disc in place, preventing slippage even under heavy load. Whether you are deburring, cleaning, or applying a decorative finish to stainless steel, this backing pad provides the stable foundation required for professional results.

FAQ

This assembly is designed for 5-3/8 inch (approx. 135mm) surface conditioning discs.

It features a standard 5/8"-11 internal thread, compatible with most North American angle grinders.

Yes, the 48R575 is an assembly that typically includes the backing pad and the necessary clamping nut/hardware.

This pad is primarily designed for thicker non-woven surface conditioning discs (like BLENDEX). Resin fiber discs usually require a different type of backing pad.

Always check the specific rating on the product label, but it is generally rated to match the maximum RPM of 5-inch grinders (typically around 11,000 RPM).

It offers a degree of flexibility to allow the abrasive to contour to the workpiece, which is essential for finishing applications.

You should check the specific spindle size of your tool, but if it has a 5/8"-11 spindle, it will fit mechanically.
