Handheld Diamond Stone Polishing Pads
These wet use, diamond hand polishing pads measure2 inches in width and 3.5 inches in length. This allows for a good grip while using the pads on stone surfaces or edge profiles. These handheld polishing pads are designed for several uses and are effective when used accordingly on a number of materials including:
- Granite
- Marble
- Concrete
- Ceramic
- Engineered Stone
- Travertine
- Limestone
- Sandstone
- Quartz
- Soapstone
- Onyx
- Slate
- Quartzite
Use this set of handheld stone polishing diamond pads for detailing and finishing up slab edges that have been profiled. After using router bits or saw blades on a slab, these pads are great for and make excellent tools for removing the marks of those bits and blades. Additionally, the various grits effectively perform well in specific use cases. Let's look at some of them.
- 30 Grit - this grit is aggressive enough for creating round overs and also may be used for light stone shaping.
- 60 Grit - like the 30 grit, this is an aggressive pad that works for light shaping of stone materials.
- 100 Grit - this pad, along with the next two and the previous two are electroplated and may be used either wet or dry.
- 200 Grit - like the previous pads in this series, this one is electroplated and effectively works wet or dry.
- 400 Grit - this pad is the last electroplated pad in the series and, like the others before it, shapes and polishes at a faster rate.
- 800 Grit - at this stage in the series, the pads begin using a different bond (resin) as the focus moves from shaping to polishing.
- 1800 Grit - like the previous pad in the set, this grit is a polisher and is the second of the resin bonded pads.
- 3500 Grit - at this level of work, the gloss is achieved by using a fine grit pad that is resin bonded.
- 7000 Grit - the last grit level is the high polishing phase of the process and achieves a high gloss finish.
All of these hand polishing pads are designed with a flexible foam backing. This means you can either use in a straight motion or fold and form the pads to use in various spaces that are otherwise difficult to reach. Furthermore, the fact that these pads flex so easily allows them to form to an edge profile while in use.
