Walter Surface Technologies 15D054 Disc Backing Pad

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 15D054 is a flexible disc backing pad designed to support sanding discs in angle grinder and disc sander applications. Built from high-quality impact-resistant plastic, this backing pad accepts a standard 5/8-11 threaded spindle and is rated to a maximum of 12,200 RPM. The screw-on quick-change mounting system simplifies disc swaps during abrasive work. A clamping nut is included to secure the sanding disc firmly to the pad face. Fabricators, metalworkers, and general trades use this backing pad as a direct replacement or spare component in grinding and surface preparation setups.

This backing pad is suited for use in fabrication shops, metal finishing operations, and general surface preparation work where flexible disc backing is required. The flexible construction allows the pad to conform slightly to curved or irregular workpiece surfaces, improving disc contact and finish consistency. It is compatible with screw-on sanding discs and installs on any angle grinder or disc tool with a standard 5/8-11 threaded spindle.

Installation and replacement of backing pads should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with angle grinder safety.
