Performance
-
Quality of the Pad: The quality of the hand pad itself is crucial. Higher-quality pads are made with durable and flexible backing materials that can withstand the rigors of polishing. They should also have a consistent distribution of diamond particles across the surface.
-
Diamond Quality: The quality of the diamonds used on the pad plays a significant role in its performance. Industrial-grade diamonds are typically used, but the size and quality of these diamonds can vary. Higher-quality diamonds will provide better cutting and polishing performance.
-
Grit Size: Diamond hand pads come in various grit sizes, ranging from coarse to fine. The grit size you choose should match your specific polishing needs. Coarser grits are used for initial shaping and grinding, while finer grits are used for polishing and finishing. The appropriate grit size depends on the material you are working on and the desired finish.
-
Material Being Polished: The type of material being polished greatly affects the performance of diamond hand pads. Softer materials like marble and limestone will typically polish faster than harder materials like granite or concrete. Additionally, different materials may require different techniques and pad selections.
-
Technique: Proper technique is essential for achieving the best results with diamond hand pads. Users should apply consistent pressure, maintain a steady and even motion, and ensure that the entire surface is polished uniformly. Changing the angle or pressure during polishing can result in uneven finishes.
-
Water or Coolant Usage: Many diamond hand pads are designed to be used wet, with water or a coolant. Keeping the pad and the material wet helps to reduce heat and friction, which can extend the pad's lifespan and improve its performance. It also helps to flush away debris and abrasive particles.
-
Pad Wear and Maintenance: Over time, diamond hand pads will wear out. It's important to inspect the pad regularly for signs of wear and replace it when necessary. Proper care and maintenance can help prolong the pad's life and maintain its performance.
-
Safety and Personal Protective Equipment: Always prioritize safety when using diamond hand pads. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, to protect yourself from potential hazards like flying debris.
Grit Range
-
Coarse Grits (60 to 120): Coarse grit Flexible Diamond products are used for aggressive material removal.
