MUSTANG Flexible Rubber Backer Pad – 4 in., 5/8 in.-11, Black
MUSTANG Flexible Rubber Backer Pad – 4 in., 5/8 in.-11, Black
The MUSTANG Flexible Rubber Backer Pad is a 4 in. pad used to drive polishing pads from a grinder or polisher, with a flexible rubber back, black and a 5/8 in.-11 thread. Ocean Diamond builds the line in three bodies — aluminum, flexible rubber and ultra-flexible rubber — all at 4 in. on a 5/8 in.-11 thread.
The body stiffness is the whole choice here. Ocean Diamond specifies the aluminum pad for straight edges, convex edges and flat areas, and the ultra-flexible pad for concave edges and tight corners — a rigid pad on a concave edge will only touch at the ends, and a very soft pad on a flat surface will follow the defect instead of removing it.
