07Q074 - 7-Inch Quick-Step Backing Pad with Centering Pin

Industrial-Grade Backing Pad for Precision Finishing

The Walter 07Q074 7" Quick-Step Backing Pad is a cornerstone component of the high-performance QUICK-STEP surface finishing system. Engineered for professional industrial environments, this backing pad distinguishes itself through its robust material composition and patented design features. Unlike standard rubber or plastic pads that may soften or warp under the heat generated by friction, this unit is constructed from industrial-grade nylon. This material choice ensures exceptional thermal stability, allowing the pad to maintain its structural integrity and flexibility even during prolonged, high-temperature applications.

A critical innovation in this backing pad is the integrated centering pin. This feature addresses a common issue in hook-and-loop systems: off-center disc placement. The pin acts as a guide, ensuring that every Quick-Step abrasive disc is mounted perfectly concentric to the rotation axis. This precise alignment significantly reduces vibration, preventing operator fatigue and ensuring a uniform scratch pattern on the workpiece. The hook-and-loop interface itself is designed with high-density hooks to provide a secure grip on the abrasive, preventing slippage or detachment under load.

Designed with a standard 5/8"-11 internal thread, the 07Q074 is compatible with most industrial 7-inch angle grinders and polishers. Its profile is optimized to provide the necessary flexibility for blending and finishing curved surfaces while retaining enough rigidity for flat surface work. This balance makes it an indispensable tool for metal fabrication shops requiring consistent, high-quality surface finishes on stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals.
