The Walter 15D044 is a premium 4-1/2" backing pad designed to maximize the performance of your sanding operations. Engineered specifically for use with resin fiber discs, this accessory is a critical component in achieving consistent, high-quality finishes on metal surfaces. The pad is manufactured from a specialized, high-quality impact-resistant plastic. This material choice is deliberate, offering a superior balance between structural integrity and operational flexibility. Unlike rigid pads that can cause chatter or gouging, or overly soft pads that wear out prematurely, this orange backing pad provides the resilience needed for industrial environments.
One of the defining characteristics of the 15D044 is its "Ultimate Flexibility." In metal fabrication, flat surfaces are rarely the only challenge; operators frequently encounter curves, contours, and irregular shapes. This backing pad conforms to the workpiece, allowing the abrasive media to maintain optimal contact area. This not only improves the quality of the blend or finish but also ensures that the abrasive grains are utilized efficiently, extending the lifespan of your sanding discs. The flexibility also aids in reducing vibration transfer to the tool, which can help minimize operator fatigue during long shifts.
Installation is straightforward and secure, featuring a standard 5/8"-11 threaded arbor that is compatible with the vast majority of 4-1/2" angle grinders on the market. The precision-molded thread ensures a centered, balanced spin, reducing wobble that could compromise surface finish. Weighing in at just under 0.2 lbs, it adds negligible weight to the tool assembly. Whether you are removing welds, blending surfaces, or preparing metal for painting, the reliability of your backing pad is paramount. The Walter 15D044 delivers the durability and performance required by professional fabricators, ensuring that your abrasive consumables perform at their peak potential.
