Vibration-Damping Pads

Place pads under equipment, such as drill presses, milling machines, saws, and air-conditioning units to minimize vibration and noise transmitted to and from machinery.

Natural Rubber


Square Crisscross Texture Segmented	Square Crisscross Texture Solid

Resist abrasion and tears for excellent durability.

Crisscross Texture—Crisscross-texture pads provide stability and a secure grip between your machinery and the floor.

Segmented—Composed of squares separated by a thin web, these pads are easy to cut into custom sizes. They’re also more flexible and forgiving on uneven surfaces than solid pads.

UV-Resistant Neoprene with Steel Plate

Square

Crisscross Texture

Solid

Reinforced with a steel plate, these pads evenly distribute loads across their surface. They support equipment with point loads, such as table legs, or uneven weight distribution, such as a top-heavy motor. Neoprene rubber withstands exposure to UV, ozone, oxidation, and moisture, so it's great for use outdoors. It also resists oils and solvents.

	Polisher Arbor Extensions

Shank Adapters

Quick-change connector-mount pads are easier to swap out than arbor-mount pads. Thread the required adapter (sold separately) onto your tool’s arbor just once. Then you can snap the pads on and off the adapter. These pads have a waffle pattern on their face that distributes polish more evenly than flat faces, which helps prevent swirl marks. Polish sits inside the square grooves, so it’s less likely to sling or splatter while you buff.

2 Polishing Sides—Pads with 2 polishing sides can be flipped for a fresh polishing side. They require an adapter (sold separately).

For Cutting—Use pads for cutting at the beginning of your process to remove heavy oxidation and deep scratches.

For Finishing— Pads for finishing are for the final touches on your workpiece, since they leave the fewest swirl marks.

For Polishing—For smoothing and light repairs, use pads for polishing.

Foam—Foam pads are more delicate than wool pads. They leave fewer swirl marks, but they’re not as good at smoothing burrs or scratches.

Polisher Arbor Extensions—Use arbor extensions (sold separately) to add up to 9" between your polisher and pad.

Buffing and Polishing Pads

Smooth and shine coated surfaces, whether they’re clear, gelcoat, lacquer, or resin-based. You can quickly attach and remove these pads from your backup pad with the hook and loop backing. All are washable and reusable.

For Cutting


Foam	Waffle Pad	Recessed Back

Use pads for cutting at the beginning of your process to remove heavy oxidation and deep scratches.

Foam—Foam pads are more delicate than wool pads. They leave fewer swirl marks, but they’re not as good at smoothing burrs or scratches.

Waffle Pad—Pads with a waffle pattern distribute polish more evenly than pads with a flat face, which further helps prevent swirl marks. The polish sits inside the square grooves, so it’s less likely to splatter as you buff.

Recessed Back—Pads with a recessed back are used with standard rotary polishers. The pad material covers the edge of your backup pad to prevent it from scratching your workpiece.
