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

These worked great for the edges of our granite tile countertops. Bought a $40 angle grinder at Harbor Freight to use with them and they did the job for relatively cheap!

My project was a granite counter top for an outside BBQ area. I cut the granite with a circular saw and diamond blade, then used these pads with a variable speed angle grinder to polish the edges. I did this dry for grits 50, 100, 200, and 400. When I got to 800 I found I needed to keep the surface wet or else there was a brown haze that would develop. I plugged the angle grinder into a GFCI and kept the surface just wet. I didnt drown it with a hose or anything. I just used a pitcher of water and would spill a little where I was working. When it started to dry up, Id pour a little more water on and keep working. Using these was really no more complicated than using a sander for fine woodworking and finishing. The 50 grit was course enough to take off any saw marks. In fact my granite remnant had a saw mark that must have been on an unseen edge when originally installed. The ridge of the saw mark was about 1/32. The 50 grit smoothed that over in about 15 minutes, going back and forth along the entire edge so as not to create a scallop. I would definitely recommend these and as a result of my experience will not hesitate to try other granite/stone projects.

You need to write down which are the finest grit to the course ones. The numbers wear off and each of these type of products have different color codes. No paperwork to help with this either.

These are great! I like everything about them. I will be ordering more at this exceptional price. I have used a broad range of brands and prices, I have done alot of comparisons side by side, Stadea takes the gold! I use these on chalcedony, agates, quartz, petrified woods and more. Mohs scale from 2 up to 8! I really do not have a single complaint!

I used these pads for the edges of marble tile for my counter top. The grittier pads (50 100 400) worked well however the fine grit pads ( 800 and up) gummed up and left black residue on the tile and pads. I had to repeatedly stop and use wd-40 to clean the pads and marble from the black residue. Im not sure if this is caused by a high rpm grinder or the fact that I was working on an edge as opposed to a flat surface. But, the sheen on the edge of the tiles now match the factory surface, so Im happy with the final product but the pads need to be thrown out.

Very glad I didnt listen to the negative comments if you read the instructions and do as it says these pads will last you a very long time. Get yourself a polisher that runs up to 3500 RPMs and youre golden pick yourself up one from Harbor Freight that goes from 0 to 3500 and cost you a whole $35. The only way I can see these pads going flying is if youre using a high-powered grinder which it says not to my only suggestion is if you plan to seal your counters only go to about 150 Grit depending on the sealer or the surface will be too slick for it to adhere to itll just come up after its dry. If you want super smooth and go all the way up to 3000 I would get a penetrating spray sealer. And if your counters are in the house prepare for a mess

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.

Purchased for my husband to finish our cement counter top and these pads held up and did the trick! He (and me) are super pleased with the final product!

For the price performance is good. Dry pads almost always leave a bit to be desired, but I was impressed at the level of performance given the price. We will see how long they last...

Good value for the price of them. Other more expensive types work faster, but these are a better deal but more time consuming. They don’t stick to Velcro as well as hoped and can fly off if you can’t control the speed of your sander.
