15M044 - Walter 4.5 Inch Turbo Backing Pad Black

Optimized Cooling for Abrasive Discs

The Walter 15M044 4-1/2" Turbo Pad represents a significant advancement in backing pad technology for resin fiber discs. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this backing pad features a specialized ribbed 'Turbo' design. These ribs act as a fan, generating a consistent flow of air between the pad and the abrasive disc during operation. This active cooling mechanism is crucial for high-performance grinding, as it dissipates the intense heat generated by friction, preventing the disc from glazing over or warping prematurely.

Constructed with a saucer-shaped profile, the pad provides the ideal backing support for 4-1/2 inch discs, ensuring that the abrasive grain makes effective contact with the workpiece. The black material indicates a standard density, suitable for a wide range of general-purpose sanding and grinding applications on steel and stainless steel. By maintaining a cooler grinding zone, the Turbo Pad not only protects the workpiece from heat discoloration but also significantly extends the lifespan of your abrasive consumables, reducing downtime and replacement costs.

This backing pad is an essential accessory for professionals seeking to maximize the efficiency of their angle grinders. Its robust construction ensures durability in industrial environments, while the intelligent design directly contributes to better surface finishes and lower total cost of operation. Compatible with standard 4-1/2" angle grinders, it is a reliable choice for MRO and fabrication tasks.
