Backing Pad for Polishers | Hook & Loop | M10/M14 Thread | 4-7 Inch

This backing plate connects your polishing pads to a rotary tool using a strong hook-and-loop system. It comes with either an M10 or M14 thread to fit different polishers and grinders. This plate gives a steady, secure base for your pads during paint correction. Features and Benefits - M10 and M14 thread options - This ensures it fits most rotary polishers and angle grinders. The M14 size is common for polishers, while M10 fits smaller tools. - High-density hook-and-loop face - It grips pads tightly, stopping them from slipping or flying off at fast speeds. - Flexible polyurethane edge - It bends a little to match vehicle curves, which helps spread pressure for a more even finish. - Works as a sander backing pad - It can also hold hook-and-loop sanding discs, making it useful for paint prep or woodworking. Applications - Rotary car polishing - Attach the right size plate to your polisher to hold foam, microfiber, or wool buffing pads for compounding and finishing. - Wet sanding projects - Use it with waterproof sanding discs to level paint texture or remove deep scratches before polishing. - Grinder-based buffing - The M14 thread fits many standard angle grinders, turning them into good tools for polishing metal or other materials. What It Is This is a versatile backing pad designed for use with polishers. It features a hook and loop attachment system, allowing for quick and easy disc changes. The pad is compatible with grinding machines and is available in various diameters from 4 to 7 inches. It also supports both M10 and M14 mounting threads, making it suitable for a range of power tools. This backing pad is categorised for woodworking DIY supplies. Key Uses & Applications This backing pad is primarily used with polishers for woodworking applications. Its hook and loop design allows for efficient attachment of abrasive discs, making it ideal for sanding and finishing tasks. It can be used with a random orbit sander, which is a power tool that moves the sanding disc in small circles while simultaneously spinning the disc. This dual-action or random orbital motion helps to minimise swirl marks, resulting in a smoother finish on wood surfaces. How to Choose When selecting a backing pad, consider the diameter needed for your polishing machine, with options ranging from 4 to 7 inches. The mounting thread is also crucial, as this product offers both M10 and M14 compatibility. Ensure the chosen pad matches your grinding machine's specifications. For woodworking, the hook and loop attachment is practical for quick changes of sanding discs, allowing you to easily switch between different grit sizes during a project. Grit / Spec Guide This backing pad is compatible with various abrasive discs, allowing for a range of sanding tasks. For rough material removal in woodworking, you might start with a coarser grit, such as 80 grit. For finer finishing and preparing surfaces for polishing, a finer grit like 150 grit would be more appropriate. The hook and loop system facilitates switching between these grits. Always match the disc diameter to the backing pad's size, which ranges from 4 to 7 inches. Care & Safety Always ensure the backing pad is securely attached to your grinding machine before operation. Regularly inspect the hook and loop surface for wear and tear, as a compromised surface can lead to discs detaching during use. When using a random orbit sander, which is a type of polisher, wear appropriate eye protection and dust masks, especially during woodworking tasks. Avoid excessive pressure, as this can damage the pad and create swirl marks on the workpiece.
