Diamond Polishing Pads 4 inch Wet/Dry Set of 11+1 Backer Pad Best Value Granite Concrete

Needed to refinish a small slab of Carrara marble, a relatively soft stone. I bought these pads after reading all the reviews and thinking I wanted to splurge for a decent set of diamond polishing pads instead of the harbor freight polishing pads I had used previously with my angle grinder on edges only. This wax for the full surface, so I even bought a new polisher and made sure to keep the RPMs within the stated range. I tried it slower I tried it faster… with water, then dry, and I even went back and started over going from 200 grit up again, thinking maybe I had done something wrong, but none of my attempts gave me a factory finish! Its slightly shiny at best. I reverted to my non-diamond pads (only go up to 600 grit btw) and angle grinder and that worked even better than these at the finest grits! So I laid out more money and bought some marble polishing compound which Im expecting tomorrow. I hope it works to give me a factory finish. After spending five hours of working with these pads yesterday, Im really disappointed. ☹️

worked much better than wet sanding with 1000 grit paper, started with the 100 and worked up to the 3000. Removed stains and water marks.

The Velcro came loose from the backing pad after approximately three hours of use, so I was annoyed about that. After I actually read the specs for the product I realized my grinder spins far too fast for these. Works great on an actual polisher. The polishing pads themselves seem fine, no complaints.

When I purchased these pads a month ago they only cost $11.99 plus shipping for a total of $16. and some change. Now there $38 plus shipping? Why the big cost jump? Well I found another set for 17.99 plus shipping on amazon so thats where Ill be buying my pads from now. Sorry tool trend but your cost hike lost you a retuning customer or should I say a not returning customer

This product works great. I had to cut the edge of my granite countertop then used this item to polish the cut side. WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS ON A STANDARD ANGLE GRINDER - THE PADS WILL DISINTEGRATE DUE TO THE HIGH SPEED. Use a variable speed angle grinder on medium speed OR an automotive buffer that has variable speed. I used the buffer, and it fit perfectly and worked great.

We have used these diamond pads to polish some of our concrete counter tops we have installed.

I am not sure why people do not read the directions listed and not exceed the limits of the pad with excessive RPM speeds. I used this on about 60sf of concrete countertop. I used a Harbor Freight polisher with digital readout and maintained 3000 RPM with 50 Grit, 100 Grit and finished with 200 Grit. If you let the polisher do the work and keep the pad level you cannot even notice any wear on the pad. I even swapped it for the second new pad and could not tell a difference. I am very impressed with these pads and would purchase again, but I think these will last a long time. You can dry polish up to 200 Grit and it suggest wet for 400 and up. My countertop is feels glass smooth so I did not see a reason to polish higher grit.

Excellent starter kit, havent had a chance to use them a bunch but I played with some marble and they worked perfect.

This pad set works very well. I cant comment too much on their durability, since I have only used them for a few pieces of granite so far. However, the directions say to use an adjustable speed grinder, and only polish using a slow speed. That is important; the polishing discs are velcroed on to the wheel, and at at 11,000rpm, the discs will come flying off. They work just fine at lower speeds though. I probably would not recommend this for a professional stone installer, but for a handyman/DIYer, they are just fine.

Soon after I ordered this product I got a friendly email from the seller indicating they would ship it right away and What you buy is 11+1 Pad, and you will get 13+1, since we have attached 1 more Grit 400 800 as EXTRA FREE GIFT to you. Nice of them and I appreciate the gift. Unfortunately, when I received the product and tried to use the 50 grit, the pad literally wore out in minutes. I had to switch back to the original (which I was going to throw away) just to finish the job. The original pads came with a SECCO WVPOLSET 4-Inch Variable Speed Wet Polisher Kit. The original 50 grit had at least 20 minutes of heavy use and lasted another 15 minutes. The new 50 grit pad was worn out in 5-10 minutes.
