Polishing pads are designed to achieve a monument quality finish on all straight or shaped surfaces.
The unique design of the polishing pads allows for rapid and even surface removal rates of the mate-
rial being polished with minimal effort. When used correctly, these pads provide a clear advantage
over all other polishing methods.
Important Points in the Polishing Process
Polishing pads are designed for use with water only, to minimize the wear on the pads and prevent
hazardous dust. Water acts to cool the polishing pad material, flush away grindings, and eliminate
hazardous dust.
Never skip grit sizes during the polishing process. Skipping polishing pads of different grit sizes will
result in an unsatisfactory finish to the polished surface.
Diamond polishing pads wear out prematurely due to the overworking of the material or by not us-
ing a sufficient amount of water. Failure to spend adequate time polishing with each grit size pad will
result in an unsatisfactory finish.
Selection of the flexible Velcro™ (rubber) backer pads for shaping and curved work is highly recom-
mended. Use the rigid backer pad for the straight edge and flat face material.
