15M007 - Walter 7-Inch Turbo-Action Backing Pad - Standard Black

Optimized Cooling for Heavy-Duty Grinding

The Walter 15M007 7" Turbo-Action Pad is an essential accessory for metalworkers seeking to maximize the efficiency and lifespan of their resin fiber discs. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this backing pad distinguishes itself with a specialized Turbo-Action design. Unlike flat backing pads that trap heat against the abrasive material, this pad features a unique saucer shape combined with a ribbed surface pattern. This geometry creates channels for air to circulate freely between the pad and the disc during rotation.

Heat is the primary enemy of abrasive performance; it causes grain glazing and premature failure of the bonding agents. By facilitating a steady flow of air, the 15M007 keeps the grinding zone significantly cooler. This not only extends the usable life of your sanding discs—saving on consumable costs—but also ensures consistent cut rates throughout the job. The "Black" classification indicates a standard flexibility, making this pad the ideal all-around choice for general purpose grinding on steel, stainless steel, and other alloys. It provides enough rigidity for aggressive stock removal while offering sufficient flex to contour slightly to the workpiece.

Designed for professional industrial environments, this pad is compatible with standard 7-inch angle grinders. Whether you are removing heavy welds, blending surfaces, or performing general fabrication tasks, the Walter Turbo-Action pad ensures your abrasives perform at their peak potential. It is a robust, high-performance solution for MRO and fabrication shops demanding reliability and efficiency.
