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

Bought for smoothing out a DIY cast-in-place concrete countertop. Minor improvements in my countertop when used dry but adding a little water produced a remarkably different result and the pads showed the wear quickly. I have 48 sqft of countertop to grind down so it was wishful thinking to expect that I could get away with one set so Ive ordered another.

These worked as advertised. There are best used with a buffer. Since they are 4 diameter, use with a drill is difficult to get even material removal and polishing.

use these for polishing my larger geodes.

I used these with a Makita 4.5 variable speed angle grinder with great success on a piece of Stilestone quartz that I cut for a desktop. The manual cutting process with 6 diamond blade on an angle grinder left noticeable saw marks on all 4 sides of the slab. I started with the most coarse grit of this set and was easily able to not only knock back the sharp edges all around, but I was also able to remove the sawing marks. I used a steady and slow flow of water from a garden hose while polishing, and used scrap boards to help direct the water to the particular area where I was working. It took maybe 2 hours to polish all 4 sides and corners with the full stack of polishing disks. The result was a finish that was 99% as good as the factory finish of the quartz slab, and perfectly good for my project. I would easily buy these again and would also seek out an 8000 grit to see if it got me an even better shine.

I have used comparable products before and typically get very good wear out the pads using a wet polisher. These are the worst pads I have ever used. I am lucky I got the set with 2x 50, 100, and 200 but I will still need to order additional ones for this project. I am polishing a 12 square foot concrete counter top and used both 50 pads and Im not finished. I typically make more passes with this grit pad but was forced to go to the 100 because the pads wore out. I still have the edges to polish. I have also worn out one of the 100 pads on the top. I would typically be able to polish 3+ counter tops of this size with comparable pads. DO NOT BUY THESE PADS!!! I have never left a bad review as I am always generally happy with my purchases from Amazon. This is not one of them and would request my money back if I thought I would be able to get it returned. Again, these pads are horrible and do not buy them, purchase a different brand

What can I say. They do the job right.

The polish pads are extremely dangerous. The velcro are so weak and it dont hold. The pads can fly out and cause serious injury. On my first use, the pad flew out in 10 seconds and hit my finger and I thought I didnt firmly attach it. So I tried my second attempt, pressed and ironed the pad to the wheel very hard, it flew out from my grinder in 20 seconds. So I was thinking maybe that just a defective pad. Then I tried another two, three and they all dont secure on the wheel, spinned out, one hit my face, luckily, I wore a heavy duty face shield, it left a big scratch on my face shield. So now you know, be careful with these pads.

Utilized this for a completed polish of a Marble Countertop. Worked perfectly!

I recently did a kitchen remodel with granite tile counter tops. What I didnt realize at first was that the sides of the tiles werent polished. I looked up suggestions online and saw products like this were a good option, but also saw theyre recommended for drills at 3-4k rpm. My cordless drill does 1600 and my cordless drill does 2000 rpm. Im on a budget and couldnt afford to buy or rent a really high powered drill, but figured Id take a chance with my corded drill and these pads. I bought an attachment for my drill with a 3 velcro pad to attach these to. What I found was that even with the subpar equipment I was using, these pads worked beautifully! I installed black granite tiles and the edges that had been kind of a medium gray polished up very well. Theyre not perfect mind you, but Ill chalk that up to the fact my drill was just under 50% under powered. If I had a better drill and used the pads wet, Im confident the polish would have turned out even better. For what these cost and the equipment I used, I couldnt be more pleased.

Sand good. I had to use an adapter to use my driver. My grinder was to fast.
