Walter Surface Technologies 15M044 Turbo Backing Pad

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 15M044 is a threaded turbo backing pad designed to mount abrasive discs on angle grinders and surface preparation tools. Built from plastic with medium flexibility, it accepts a standard 5/8-11 threaded spindle and is rated to a maximum of 13,300 RPM. The medium-flex construction allows the disc to conform slightly to curved or uneven workpiece surfaces, improving contact and cut consistency. A clamping nut is included. This backing pad is suited for professional metalworking, fabrication, and surface conditioning applications where consistent disc seating and reliable high-speed operation are required.

The 15M044 is intended for use with WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES COOLCUT XX and TRACUT cutting and grinding disc lines. It is appropriate for use on angle grinders in metal fabrication shops, structural steel work, and industrial maintenance settings. The 5/8-11 thread is the standard spindle size found on most 4.5-inch to 5-inch angle grinders used in trade and industrial environments. The medium-flexibility rating makes it a general-purpose choice across flat and mildly contoured stock.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified operator familiar with angle grinder tooling and applicable ANSI B11 or OSHA abrasive wheel safety requirements. Disconnect and de-energize the grinder before mounting or removing the backing pad. Thread the pad fully onto the spindle by hand, then secure the abrasive disc with the included clamping nut using the appropriate spanner wrench. Never exceed the 13,300 RPM maximum speed rating of the pad.
