Alpha Flexible Backer Pads – 2" to 5" | 5/8"-11, M14, M16 Mount
Professional Flexible Backer Pads for Precision Polishing
The Alpha Tools Flexible Backer Pads are designed to provide controlled flexibility and stable support for diamond polishing pads and sanding discs. These backer pads allow polishing tools to follow surface contours more easily, helping fabricators achieve smoother finishes on curved edges and detailed stone surfaces.
Built for professional stone fabrication and finishing environments, these pads combine durability with flexibility to improve polishing performance.
Flexible Design for Improved Surface Contact
Unlike rigid backer pads, Alpha Flexible Backer Pads are engineered with a flexible body that allows the polishing pad to conform to slight curves and irregular surfaces.
Key benefits include:
-
Flexible structure for better surface conformity
-
Improved polishing control on edges and curves
-
Stable backing support for polishing pads
-
Durable construction for professional use
This flexibility helps maintain consistent contact between the polishing pad and the stone surface.
Hook & Loop Attachment System
The pads feature a hook-and-loop (H&L) surface, enabling quick attachment and removal of compatible polishing pads and sanding discs.
Advantages include:
-
Fast polishing pad replacement
-
Secure pad attachment during operation
-
Reduced downtime when switching between grits
-
Compatibility with most hook-and-loop polishing pads
Multiple Thread Mount Options
Alpha Flexible Backer Pads are available with several industry-standard thread connections, allowing compatibility with a wide range of polishing tools and grinders.
Thread options include:
-
5/8"-11 Thread – Common on many North American angle grinders
-
M14 Thread – Frequently used on international polishing tools
-
M16 Thread – Used on certain stone polishing machines
Ideal Applications
These flexible backer pads are commonly used in professional stone fabrication and finishing tasks, including:
-
Supporting diamond polishing pads
-
Polishing granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone
-
Edge polishing and contour finishing
-
Countertop fabrication and installation
-
Stone restoration and surface refinement
Compatible Tools
Alpha Flexible Backer Pads are designed for use with variable-speed angle grinders and polishing machines that support 5/8"-11, M14, or M16 threaded connections.
The pads are available in 2-inch, 3-inch, 4-inch, and 5-inch diameters, offering flexibility for both detail work and larger polishing areas.
