15M008 - Walter 7-Inch Flexible Turbo-Action Backing Pad - White

Optimize Your Finishing with the Walter 15M008 Turbo-Action Pad

The Walter 15M008 7" Turbo-Action Backing Pad (White) is a specialized accessory designed to elevate the performance of your resin fiber sanding discs, particularly during finishing operations and work on contoured surfaces. Unlike standard backing pads, this white version is engineered with a flexible density, allowing it to conform to the natural curves of your workpiece. This flexibility is crucial for preventing gouging and undercutting, ensuring a smooth, professional finish on stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel fabrications.

At the heart of this product is Walter's innovative Turbo-Action technology. The face of the pad features a unique ribbed pattern that creates channels for air to circulate behind the sanding disc. As the grinder spins, these ribs generate a powerful cooling effect, dissipating heat rapidly. Heat is the primary enemy of abrasive life; by keeping the disc and the workpiece cooler, the Turbo-Action pad significantly extends the lifespan of your consumables and prevents heat discoloration on sensitive metals. This makes it an indispensable tool for high-quality metal finishing where thermal management is key.

The 15M008 is specifically recommended for use with finer grit discs (typically 100 grit and finer) where a soft touch and adaptability are required. Whether you are blending welds on a curved tank, finishing a pipe radius, or preparing a surface for painting, the shock-absorbing qualities of the white pad provide the operator with greater control and comfort. It comes complete with a clamping nut, ensuring a secure fit to standard 7-inch angle grinders with a 5/8"-11 spindle. Invest in the Walter White Turbo-Action pad to reduce consumable costs and achieve superior surface quality.
