Diamax Cyclone Firm Backer Pad – 4 in., Rigid Rubber Body
Diamax Cyclone Firm Backer Pad – 4 in., Rigid Rubber Body
The Diamax Cyclone Firm Backer Pad is a 4 in. firm backer pad with a rigid rubber body for backing polishing pads on flat edges.
A rigid body keeps the polishing pad flat under pressure, which is what stops the wavy finish a soft backer leaves on a straight run.
Key Features
- Rigid rubber body, 4 in.
- Hook-and-loop face
- Keeps the pad flat under pressure
Not Recommended For
Not the backer for an ogee or an inside curve — a rigid body will not conform, so contact goes uneven across the profile. Use the Diamax Cyclone Flexible Backer Pad – 4 in., Soft Rubber Body or the BRUIN Backer Pad – 4 in., Super Flexible there.
Who Is This For?
Fabricators polishing straight edges and flat surfaces where finish flatness is visible.
