FAQ

What machines work with this 3-inch pad?

Use with handheld polishers/grinders or smaller floor machines that accept a 3-inch Velcro backer plate.

Is wet or dry grinding better with this pad?

It performs for both! Wet grinding typically extends pad life and reduces dust. Dry use offers job site convenience.

Any tips for making the pad last longer and perform well?

Operate within the 2000-4000 RPM range, apply steady even pressure (let the diamonds work), and always grind on clean surfaces. Wet grinding also helps pad life.

Can I use this 100 grit pad for a final polish?

No, this 100 grit metal bond pad is designed for aggressive initial grinding and surface preparation. Finer grits are needed for actual polishing.

How should I store these polishing pads?

Store them flat in a dry place to protect the Velcro backing and keep the diamond segments free from damage or contamination.
