Rigid Backer Pads Alpha Professional Tools® first introduced rubber backer pads with the AEP-458 electric polisher to promote the concept of wet polishing, which then became the accepted method of polishing. Alpha® recognized the need to add a rigid version of this backer pad to its product line for straight edge or flat surface polishing applications. We realized that Ceramica, with a flexible backer pad, was too flexible for these applications and produced wavy finishes. Features High-Quality Backer Pad Is Super Rigid and Flat Eliminates The Wavy Finish When Polishing Hook and Loop Backed with A Long Life The Rigidness of The Pad Enables Work in Small Areas Such As Corners or Staircases Accepts Polishing Pads, Sandpaper and Felt Wheels Choice Among Fabricators, Tile Contractors, Monumentalists and Restoration Workers Fits On Most Popular Polishers and Grinders .dst-accordion { margin-top: 25px; border: 1px solid #FDDCC5; border-radius: 6px; overflow: hidden; } .dst-accordion-item { border-bottom: 1px solid #FDDCC5; } .dst-accordion-item:last-child { border-bottom: none; } .dst-accordion-toggle { display: none; } .dst-accordion-label { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; padding: 14px 20px; cursor: pointer; font-size: 17px; font-weight: 700; color: #231F20; background: #fff; transition: background 0.2s; } .dst-accordion-label:hover { background: #FFF3EB; } .dst-accordion-label::after { content: '+'; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; color: #F15C22; transition: transform 0.3s; } .dst-accordion-toggle:checked + .dst-accordion-label { background: #FFF3EB; } .dst-accordion-toggle:checked + .dst-accordion-label::after { content: '\2212'; } .dst-accordion-content { max-height: 0; overflow: hidden; transition: max-height 0.4s ease; padding: 0 20px; background: #fff; } .dst-accordion-toggle:checked ~ .dst-accordion-content { max-height: 5000px; padding: 15px 20px 20px; } Available Models GP35/8RG — 3" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP35/8RG Size 3" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads 5/8"-11 GP45/8RG — 4" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP45/8RG Size 4" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads 5/8"-11 GP55/8RG — 5" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP55/8RG Size 5" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads 5/8"-11 GP3M14RG — 3" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP3M14RG Size 3" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads M14 GP4M14RG — 4" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP4M14RG Size 4" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads M14 GP5M14RG — 5" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP5M14RG Size 5" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads M14 GP3M16RG — 3" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP3M16RG Size 3" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads M16 GP4M16RG — 4" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP4M16RG Size 4" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads M16 GP5M16RG — 5" / 6,000 Property Detail Part No. GP5M16RG Size 5" Maximum RPM 6,000 Type Rigid Threads M16 RGSPACER — Spacer Property Detail Part No. RGSPACER Threads Spacer Reference : — Backer-Pads_HowToUse Property Detail Part No. Reference : Size Backer-Pads_HowToUse How to Use Attach the polishing pad to your polisher or angle grinder using the appropriate backer pad. Start with the coarsest grit and work through progressively finer grits. Keep the pad flat against the surface and use steady, overlapping passes. Use water to keep the surface cool and flush away slurry during wet polishing. Always wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses and hearing protection.
