Alpha® Rigid Backer Pads are designed for straight edge and flat surface polishing applications where flexibility can lead to surface distortion. Their rigid, flat construction helps maintain consistent contact between the polishing media and the work surface, reducing wavy finishes during polishing.
Developed to support applications where flexible backer pads are unsuitable, these rigid pads are commonly used for edge work, flat surface polishing, and detail areas such as corners and staircases.
Key Features
- Rigid, Flat Construction: Helps maintain even pressure and reduces surface distortion during polishing.
- Straight Edge and Flat Surface Use: Designed for applications where flexible backer pads can create uneven results.
- Hook and Loop Backing: Accepts polishing pads, sandpaper, and felt wheels.
- Controlled Work in Tight Areas: Rigid design supports detailed polishing in corners, staircases, and confined spaces.
- Standard Thread Compatibility: Fits most polishers and grinders with a 5/8"-11 thread.
