OVERVIEW

Walter Spinlock Backing Pad 3" – Precision and Speed for Abrasive Applications

The Walter Spinlock Backing Pad 3" (SKU: 09X303) is an essential accessory for professionals utilizing quick-change abrasive systems. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this backing pad is designed to provide a secure and stable interface between your die grinder and Spin-On abrasive discs. Its 3-inch diameter is specifically optimized for working in confined spaces, on contoured surfaces, or for precision detailing where larger pads cannot reach.

Constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant materials, the 09X303 backing pad ensures longevity even under the stress of high-RPM applications. The pad offers the right balance of flexibility and stiffness, allowing the abrasive disc to conform to the workpiece while maintaining enough rigidity to effectively remove material. This balance is critical for achieving consistent surface finishes, whether you are blending welds, removing rust, or polishing stainless steel.

The Spinlock mechanism is the core feature of this product, facilitating rapid disc changes. In industrial environments where time is money, the ability to switch from a coarse grinding disc to a fine finishing disc in mere seconds significantly boosts productivity. This backing pad is compatible with a wide range of Walter Spin-On abrasives, making it a versatile addition to any metalworker's toolkit.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Thermal Management: Designed to dissipate heat, preventing the backing pad from melting and extending the life of the abrasive disc.
  • Vibration Reduction: Balanced design minimizes tool vibration, reducing operator fatigue during extended use.
  • Secure Fit: The threaded connection ensures the disc remains firmly in place during operation, enhancing safety.

FAQ

This backing pad is designed for 3-inch diameter Spin-On (quick-change) abrasive discs.

Yes, it is designed to mount onto standard die grinders and rotary tools that accept the appropriate mandrel or spindle thread.

The Spinlock system allows for tool-free disc changes in seconds, significantly reducing downtime when switching between different grits or abrasive types.

While the pad itself is durable, it is primarily designed for dry metalworking applications. Check the specifications of your abrasive discs for wet/dry compatibility.

Typically, the backing pad is sold as the pad unit itself. Please check the specific packaging or 'Includes' section, but often the mandrel is integrated or sold separately depending on the specific kit.

Walter backing pads are rated for high-speed use, typically matching the max RPM of 3-inch abrasive discs (often around 20,000 to 25,000 RPM), but always verify the rating printed on the product.

It offers a medium density, providing a balance of flexibility for contouring and rigidity for flat grinding.

Walter Spin-On and Roloc (Type R) are similar quick-change systems. While often compatible, it is best to use Walter branded discs for the most secure fit with Walter pads.
