Diamond Resin Soft Smoothing Prepolishing Pads: Precision Finishing for Gemstones & Glass
Achieve flawless surfaces with Diamond Resin Soft Smoothing Pads, engineered to rapidly eliminate grinding marks and high spots on gemstones, glass, and Glasseye. Combining flexible resin-bonded diamond surfaces with versatile backing options, these pads outperform traditional silicon carbide discs and compound systems.
Key Features
-
Rapid Material Removal: Diamond resin matrix ensures aggressive yet controlled smoothing for efficient prepolishing.
-
Flexible Design: Conforms to contours for uniform finishes on curved or irregular surfaces.
-
Superior Performance: Outlasts silicon carbide discs and diamond compounds in durability and speed.
-
Versatile Backing:
-
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive (PSA): Securely attaches to most laps or backing plates.
-
Magnetic Backing: Quick-swap compatibility with magnetic systems.
-
-
Broad Compatibility: Works with Heavy Duty Grinder/Polishers and Hi-Tech All-U-Need Cabbing Units.
-
Size Range: 4" to 24" diameters for small details or large surfaces.
-
Grit Spectrum: 60 (coarse) to 50,000 (ultra-fine) for progressive smoothing to mirror finishes.
