MANTIS Dry 3-Step Hybrid Polishing Pad – 4 in.
The MANTIS Dry 3-Step Hybrid Polishing Pad is a 4 in. dry polishing pad built as a three-step system for finishing stone edges and surfaces.
A three-step system does in three passes what a traditional pad ladder does in seven: the first step sands out saw and grinding marks, the second hones to a semi-gloss, and the third brings the surface to full gloss. MANTIS is the dry line in this house range and SIERRA is the wet line – the SIERRA 3-Step Hybrid Polishing Pad – 4 in., Wet is the same idea for shops running water. Grit per step, backing and attachment type are not published for these pads, and neither is the pack quantity, so confirm what a single order contains before you buy.

Who Is This For?
Fabricators and installers polishing dry – in a finished kitchen, on site, or anywhere a water feed is impractical – who want to finish an edge in three passes. If your shop polishes wet, the wet counterpart is the SIERRA 3-Step Hybrid Polishing Pad – 4 in., Wet; running a dry pad under water is not what it is built for. If you need a dry pad whose grits are published individually, the Diamax Hurricane Dry Polishing Pad – 4 in. is listed by grit.
