FAQs
What size polishing pads should I use with this backing pad?
You should use 75mm diameter polishing pads designed for hook and loop attachment.
Can I use this pad with a different brand of polisher?
No, this pad is exclusively designed for the Flex Power Tools PXE 80 10.8-EC Spot Polisher due to its specialized mounting system.
What is the density of the PU layer?
The PU layer is described as medium-hard, offering a balance of flexibility and firmness.
How often should I clean the hook and loop surface?
It is recommended to clean the hook and loop surface after each use to maintain optimal adhesion for your polishing pads.
What is the benefit of a cushioned pad?
The cushioning helps to absorb vibrations and allows the pad to conform slightly to contours, promoting more even pressure distribution during polishing.
Is this pad suitable for high-speed polishing?
This pad is designed for use with the PXE 80 10.8-EC Spot Polisher, which is intended for spot polishing. Ensure your polishing technique and speed are appropriate for the task and the tool.
Troubleshooting
Pad is difficult to attach to the polisher.
Ensure you are using the correct polisher (PXE 80 10.8-EC) and that both the pad mount and polisher spindle are clean and free from debris. Align carefully before screwing on.
Polishing pad detaches during use.
Verify the pad is screwed on securely to the polisher. Check the hook and loop system on both the pad and the polishing disc for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
Uneven polishing results.
Ensure the pad is clean and free of hardened compound. Check that the polishing pad itself is flat and properly attached. The medium-hard density requires consistent pressure for even results.
