BRUIN Backer Pad – 4 in., Super Flexible
BRUIN Backer Pad – 4 in., Super Flexible
The BRUIN Backer Pad is a 4 in. super flexible backer pad, used to carry 4 in. polishing discs on a grinder or polisher.
Super flexible is the softest rung of a four-pad ladder that runs aluminum, rigid, flexible and super flexible. The body folds far enough to take a disc into a deep contour or a tight inside radius, which is exactly where a stiffer pad leaves an unpolished band. The attachment is not published – no thread size, and no statement of hook-and-loop or snail-lock – so check it against your machine and your discs before ordering.

What's Included

Who Is This For?
Fabricators polishing sink cutouts, inside radii, deep ogees and other profiles where the disc has to wrap. It is the wrong pad for flat tops and long straight edges – a super flexible body lets the disc tip and round the arris – so use the BRUIN Backer Pad – 4 in., Rigid or the Aluminum Body pad on flat work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a super flexible backer pad for?
Polishing deep contours and tight inside radii, where the pad body has to fold for the disc to stay in contact with the stone.
How is it different from the flexible pad?
It is softer. In this 4 in. line the grades run aluminum, rigid, flexible and super flexible, with super flexible the most compliant of the four.
Should I use it on a flat top?
No. On flat surfaces a very soft pad allows the disc to tip and round the edge; a rigid or aluminum-bodied pad holds the disc flat.
What size discs does a 4 in. backer pad take?
A 4 in. backer pad is sized for 4 in. polishing discs.
