MUSTANG Ultra-Flexible Rubber Backer Pad – 4 in., 5/8 in.-11, Black
MUSTANG Ultra-Flexible Rubber Backer Pad – 4 in., 5/8 in.-11, Black
The MUSTANG Ultra-Flexible Rubber Backer Pad is a 4 in. pad used to drive polishing pads from a grinder or polisher, with an ultra-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. Ocean Diamond specifies the ultra-flexible rubber pad for concave edges and tight corners.
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.
