15M145 - Walter 4.5 Inch White Turbo Backing Pad for COOLCUT XX

Optimized Cooling for High-Performance Sanding

The Walter 15M145 4-1/2" Quick Change Turbo Pad (White) is a precision-engineered accessory designed to extract the maximum performance and lifespan from your abrasive discs. In industrial sanding applications, heat generation is the primary enemy of abrasive longevity. Excessive heat softens the resin bond of fiber discs and dulls the grain prematurely, leading to inefficient material removal and increased consumable costs. This Turbo Pad addresses this thermodynamic challenge directly with its innovative geometry.

Featuring a distinct saucer-shaped profile and a ribbed backing surface, the pad creates a layer of turbulence and airflow behind the disc during operation. This convective cooling effect dissipates heat rapidly, keeping both the workpiece and the abrasive grains at optimal operating temperatures. The result is a consistent cut rate and a significant extension of the disc's usable life. The "White" classification of this pad denotes a specific flexibility rating, making it ideal for applications requiring a balance between aggressive stock removal and the ability to conform slightly to curved surfaces.

Specifically optimized for use with Walter COOLCUT XX sanding discs, this backing pad ensures that the high-performance grain of the COOLCUT series is utilized to its full potential. The 4-1/2 inch diameter fits standard industrial angle grinders, providing a secure and balanced interface between the tool and the abrasive. By maintaining a cooler interface, operators can work longer without stopping to change discs, thereby improving overall process efficiency in metal fabrication and finishing environments.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Thermal Management: Ribbed channels induce airflow to reduce interface temperature.
• Disc Longevity: Prevents glazing and bond failure caused by overheating.
• Ergonomic Profile: Saucer shape allows for a more natural approach angle to the workpiece.
• Material Compatibility: White polymer formulation offers durability with controlled flexibility.
