Description
Overview
Alpha 5-inch Ceramica Resin discs are flexible wet-polishing pads for granite edges and curved stonework. The heat-sintered resin bond provides a consistent polishing action, while the flexible disc conforms to profiles and inside curves.
Features
- Resin-bond diamond disc for wet hand polishing.
- Hook-and-loop backing for grit changes.
- Flexible construction for curved edges and confined profiles.
Specifications

Additional Use
The pad can also be used for hand-polishing small sections during sheet-metal inspection at steel mills to reveal roll marks and dents.
Applications
Choose the 5-inch size for the working area and edge profile. The listed resin grits run from 150 to 3000; black and white Buff selections are final-polishing products, not intermediate numbered grits.
Selection and Use
- Work through the polishing sequence without skipping grits; each stage must remove the preceding scratches.
- For granite final polishing, choose Black Buff for dark stone or White Buff for light-colored stone. Buffing uses a small amount of water, unlike the more generous water supply used with the resin stages.
- Use water-fed polishing equipment rather than an ordinary high-speed grinder.
