WEHA Turbo Disc – 3.5 in., 50 Grit
WEHA Turbo Disc – 3.5 in., 50 Grit
The WEHA Turbo Polishing Disc is a rigid 3.5 in. diamond edge-polishing disc in 50 grit, the coarsest disc in the ladder, used first to take down and shape a sawn edge. It is a rigid disc rather than a flexible pad, so it holds a flat edge flat instead of rolling over the arris.
The disc has no thread of its own and cannot be run on its own. It mounts on the WEHA 3.5 in. backup pad, MPN 51080, which has a 5/8-11 thread, a strong hook-and-loop face and an interior ridge that stops the disc shifting under load. A buyer who orders discs without that pad has nothing they can put on a machine. Weha's own product page names this disc at 50 grit in the 3.5 in. size.

Who Is This For?
Fabricators polishing flat edges, bevels and seam faces who run the whole grit ladder on one backup pad. It is the wrong tool for a curved profile or a sink bowl, which need a flexible pad: the WEHA Trio 3 Step pad (WEH 13341) is the flexible option, but only its step 1 is stocked here, so on its own it will not take a bowl or a curved edge through to a finished polish. It is also the wrong tool for blending a scratch repair on a quartz surface, which is what the WEHA Donkey surface pads (WEH 134293) are for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this disc mount on?
The WEHA 3.5 in. Turbo Polishing Discs mount on the WEHA 3.5 in. backup pad, MPN 51080, which has a 5/8-11 thread and an interior ridge that keeps the disc from shifting.
Can I use the disc without a backup pad?
