VMC 5 in Aluminum Backer Pad – US Thread

VMC 5 in Aluminum Backer Pad – US Thread

The VMC 5 in Aluminum Backer Pad – US Thread is precision-machined to deliver an unyielding, perfectly flat foundation for straight runs, planar surface honing, and crisp edge polishing on granite, marble, quartz, and concrete. Unlike flexible or standard composite backers, the rigid, aircraft-grade aluminum body eliminates flexing under heavy downward pressure, preventing wavy profiles and edge roll-off on countertop edges, miter cuts, and straight seams.

Engineered with an industry-standard 5/8″-11 female thread, this 5-inch backing plate threads directly onto standard US spindle handheld polishers and variable-speed angle grinders. Its heavy-duty Velcro® fastener face provides maximum grip to hold diamond discs firmly in place during high-friction wet or dry processing, while allowing seamless, tool-free disc changes between polishing grits.
