Description
Overview
Alpha Rigid Backer Pads provide firm, flat support for hook-and-loop polishing media. The rigid design helps maintain a straight edge or flat surface instead of allowing the abrasive to follow unwanted waves.
Features
- Rigid backing for flat polishing and straight edges.
- Hook-and-loop face accepts compatible polishing pads, sandpaper and felt wheels.
- 3-, 4- and 5-inch sizes with 5/8-inch-11 threads.

Applications
Choose a rigid pad for flat stonework, straight edges and restoration areas such as staircases and corners where maintaining the surface plane matters. A flexible backer is the contrasting choice for following tight contours.
Selection and Use
- Select the diameter needed for the polishing media and working area, then match the 5/8-inch-11 thread to the tool.
- The 6,000 RPM rating is for the backer pad; it does not raise the speed limit of the attached abrasive.
- This listing offers the standard threaded sizes shown below, not an unspecified metric mounting.
