Whether you're fabricating stone, preparing surfaces, or achieving mirror-like polish, SmartCut polishing pads are engineered for performance. From reducing vibrations during stock removal to delivering glossy finishes, choosing the right pad and grinding wheel matters. Here’s how to make the right selection for every task.
Key Highlights:
-
Grinding Efficiency: SmartCut’s tolerance wheels (both continuous rim and vacuum-brazed) offer balanced, vibration-free performance and are optimized for both wet and dry use — allowing smoother stock removal and eliminating chipping.
-
3-Step & Specialty Polishing Pads: SmartCut offers a wide range of polishing solutions — including standard 3-Step diamond pads for natural and engineered stone, hybrid pads for dry applications, and specialty options for dark or light-stone materials.
-
Back-Up & Adhesion: A rigid, flat back-up pad ensures a consistent finish by eliminating wavy results. These hook-and-loop backed pads are built to last.
Practical Tips
-
Start with Stock Removal: Use tolerance wheels when transitions between heavy stock removal and surface refinement are needed—especially on granite or engineered stone.
-
Progressive Polishing: Begin with coarse grit, advance through the 3-Step system, and finish with specialty pads for exceptional sheen.
-
Optimize with a Back-Up Pad: Pair your pad with a high-quality back-up pad to avoid unwanted patterns and ensure consistent pressure.
-
Wet vs. Dry Applications: Use water feed-compatible options when working with heat-sensitive materials or to extend pad lifespan.
