07Q050 - Walter 5-Inch Soft Foam Interface Pad for Curved Sanding

Precision Finishing for Complex Contours

The Walter 07Q050 5" QS Interface Pad is an essential accessory for industrial finishers and fabricators who demand perfection on curved surfaces. Standard backing pads, while effective for flat grinding, often lack the compliance necessary to follow the natural geometry of a pipe, tank, or contoured workpiece. This rigidity can lead to "flat-spotting," gouging, or uneven scratch patterns that require costly rework. The Walter QS Interface Pad solves this problem by introducing a layer of durable, soft foam between the backing pad and the abrasive disc.

Engineered with Walter's commitment to quality, this interface pad is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environments. The foam density is calibrated to provide just the right amount of give—enough to conform to the workpiece, but firm enough to transmit the necessary cutting force from the tool. This balance ensures that the abrasive disc maintains optimal contact with the surface at all times, resulting in a consistent, uniform finish. It is particularly effective when used with finer grit abrasives for blending and finishing operations where surface integrity is paramount.

The pad features Walter's QS (Quick-Step) mounting system, which utilizes a robust hook-and-loop mechanism. This allows for rapid changeovers and ensures the pad stays securely centered during high-speed operation. By absorbing vibration and shock, the interface pad also reduces operator fatigue, allowing for longer periods of work with greater precision. Whether you are finishing stainless steel railings, aluminum vessels, or architectural metalwork, the 07Q050 is the key to achieving a seamless, professional result on every curve.
