15D154 - Walter 5-Inch Rubber Backing Pad with 5/8-11 Arbor

High-Performance Rubber Backing Pad for Industrial Grinding

The Walter 15D154 Rubber Backing Pad is an essential accessory for metalworking professionals seeking to optimize the performance of their resin fiber discs. Designed with a 5-inch diameter and a standard 5/8-11 arbor configuration, this backing pad is engineered to bridge the gap between your angle grinder and the abrasive media. In industrial environments where material removal rates and surface finish quality are paramount, the stability provided by a high-quality backing pad cannot be overstated. This component ensures that the abrasive disc maintains proper contact with the workpiece, allowing for consistent grinding action and preventing premature disc failure caused by uneven pressure distribution.

Constructed from premium-grade rubber, this backing pad offers a distinct advantage in terms of flexibility and durability. Unlike rigid pads that can cause gouging or chatter on irregular surfaces, the Walter rubber compound provides a degree of give that contours slightly to the workpiece. This flexibility is crucial for blending operations and finishing tasks where a smooth transition is required. Furthermore, the material is specifically formulated to withstand the immense pressure and heat generated during heavy-duty grinding applications. By effectively dissipating heat and absorbing vibration, the pad not only extends the life of the abrasive disc but also reduces operator fatigue, contributing to a safer and more productive work environment.

Safety and efficiency go hand-in-hand with the 15D154. A worn or inferior backing pad can lead to disc slippage or disintegration, posing significant risks to the operator. Walter Surface Technologies has designed this pad to grip the disc securely while maintaining structural integrity under load. Whether you are removing heavy weld seams, beveling edges, or preparing surfaces for painting, this backing pad provides the reliable foundation needed for aggressive material removal. Its robust design ensures it can endure the rigorous demands of daily use in shipyards, fabrication shops, and construction sites, making it a cost-effective solution for maintaining high productivity levels.

Investing in the correct backing pad is as important as selecting the right abrasive. The 15D154 maximizes the utility of your fiber discs, ensuring you get every bit of performance you paid for. With its standard 5/8-11 thread compatibility, it fits a wide range of commercially available angle grinders, making it a versatile addition to any tool crib. Choose Walter for a backing pad that delivers consistent results, superior comfort, and the durability required for the toughest industrial challenges.
