Walter Surface Technologies 15D044 Disc Backing Pad

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 15D044 is a flexible disc backing pad designed for use with sanding discs on angle grinders and similar rotary tools. Built from high-quality impact-resistant plastic, it features a 5/8-11 threaded mount and supports a maximum operating speed of 13,300 RPM. The flexible construction allows the pad to conform to contoured or irregular work surfaces, improving disc contact and finish quality. It includes a clamping nut for secure disc retention. This backing pad is a standard replacement component used by metalworkers, fabricators, and general trade professionals.

This backing pad is suited for light to heavy material removal and finishing applications where a screw-on, threaded backing pad is required. The 5/8-11 thread size is a common standard found on most angle grinders used in fabrication, welding prep, and surface conditioning work. Its flexible design makes it appropriate for both flat and curved surface applications across metal, wood, and composite materials.
