Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals and serious DIYers using rotary polishers or sanders who need a secure and effective way to attach non-woven abrasive discs. The key benefit is the enhanced grip provided by the GRIP(r) technology, ensuring discs stay in place during demanding tasks. A potential caveat is its specialized design for specific disc types, requiring users to confirm compatibility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of discs is this pad designed for?

This pad is specifically designed for non-woven material discs (often referred to as SCDs) that have a compatible backing to adhere to the GRIP(r) surface.

What does M14 refer to?

M14 refers to the standard metric thread size commonly found on the spindles of many angle grinders, polishers, and sanders in Europe and other regions. It indicates the diameter and pitch of the screw thread.

Can I use this pad with hook-and-loop discs?

No, this pad is not designed for standard hook-and-loop (Velcro) backed abrasive discs. Its GRIP(r) surface is optimized for the specific material of non-woven discs.

How do I ensure the best grip from the GRIP(r) surface?

Ensure both the pad's GRIP(r) surface and the back of your non-woven disc are clean, dry, and free from any oils or contaminants. Apply firm, even pressure when attaching the disc.

What is the benefit of the foam layer?

The 3mm foam layer provides a slight cushioning effect, allowing the pad and disc to better conform to subtle curves and contours on the workpiece, while still maintaining the rigidity needed for effective sanding.

Is this pad suitable for very intricate or detailed work?

While versatile, its 125mm size and rigid backing may be better suited for general surface preparation rather than extremely fine, detailed edge work where a smaller or more flexible pad might be preferred.

Troubleshooting

Disc is not adhering well to the pad

Ensure the disc and pad surfaces are clean and free from dust or grease. Confirm you are using a compatible non-woven abrasive disc (SCD). Press the disc firmly onto the pad.

Pad vibrates excessively during use

Check that the pad is securely screwed onto the tool's spindle. Ensure the tool's spindle is clean and undamaged. Verify the abrasive disc is centered and properly attached.

Pad makes a strange noise

This could indicate excessive wear on the pad's internal threads or bearing (if applicable). Inspect the pad for damage. If damage is found, replace the pad. Ensure the disc is not catching on anything.

Difficulty attaching the pad to the tool

Clean the threads on both the tool's spindle and the pad. Ensure you are using a tool with an M14 thread. Do not force the pad; if threads are cross-matched or damaged, seek professional inspection of the tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent grip for non-woven discs via GRIP(r) technology.
  • Durable and professional build quality, made in Great Britain.
  • Secure attachment to polishing/sanding tools due to metal threading.
  • Helps maintain disc stability for consistent results.
  • Suitable for various finishing and sanding applications.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for non-woven discs; may not be optimal for other abrasive types.
  • Requires a tool with a compatible M14 thread.
  • Rigid design might be less forgiving on highly complex curves compared to flexible pads.
  • 125mm size may be too large or small for certain intricate tasks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your rotary polisher or sander has an M14 spindle thread.
  2. Clean the tool's spindle thread and the pad's internal thread.
  3. Screw the pad onto the spindle until it is firmly seated. Do not overtighten.
  4. Attach your non-woven abrasive disc (SCD) by pressing it firmly onto the pad's GRIP(r) surface.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with rotary polishers and sanders featuring an M14 spindle thread.
  • Designed for use with non-woven abrasive discs (SCDs) with a 125mm diameter backing.

Care:

  • After use, remove any dust or debris from the pad surface using a soft brush or compressed air.
  • Wipe the pad clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  • Store the pad in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
