- Works on: Granite, Marble, Concrete, Stone, Quartz, and other hard surfaces
How Grit Works
Understanding grit makes all the difference in surface finishing. A lower grit number means a coarser abrasive — ideal for rapid material removal and initial shaping. A higher grit number produces a finer, smoother polish. Start coarse and work your way up to achieve that flawless, mirror-like finish on your stone or concrete surfaces.
Ideal For
- DIY home renovation projects
- Professional stone fabricators and countertop installers
- Concrete floor grinding and finishing
- Marble restoration and polishing
- Granite surface preparation

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What surfaces is this 80mm polishing pad backer compatible with?
A: This polishing pad backer is designed for use on a wide range of hard surfaces including granite, marble, concrete, quartz, and natural stone. Its silicon carbide and resin construction handles both wet and dry grinding applications on all of these materials.
Q: What interface does this polishing pad backer use?
A: This pad backer features an M10 spiral interface, which is the standard thread size used by most angle grinders and rotary polishing tools, making it easy to attach and swap out on commonly available equipment.
Q: How do I choose the right grit for my project?
A: For initial surface grinding, heavy material removal, or rough shaping, choose a lower grit number (coarser). For finishing, smoothing, and achieving a polished appearance, choose a higher grit number. For best results, work through progressively finer grits until you reach your desired surface finish.
Q: Can this pad backer be used wet and dry?
A: Yes — this pad backer is designed for both wet and dry use. Wet use with water helps keep the surface cool, reduces dust, and extends pad life. Dry use allows for faster, more aggressive cutting when water isn't practical.
