DiStar Hand Pad 2 Series
DiStar Hand Pad 2 Series is a professional-grade diamond hand polishing pad system designed for precise finishing of porcelain tile edges, smoothing ceramic cuts, and refining stone surfaces without the need for power tools. Built for tile installers, contractors, and fabricators, these pads provide maximum control when working on delicate edges, corners, and detailed surfaces where precision is critical and power tools may be too aggressive.
Edge Finishing with Full Manual Control
Unlike power tools, the DiStar Hand Pad 2 Series allows complete manual control over pressure and finishing quality, making it ideal for smoothing sharp tile edges after cutting, polishing porcelain tile edges, refining stone surfaces, and performing touch-up work on installed materials. This ensures clean, controlled results even in tight or sensitive areas.
Full Grit Progression System
The system is available in three grit stages to cover the entire finishing process: #1 – 60 grit (coarse) for material removal and edge shaping, #2 – 200 grit (medium) for smoothing and refinement, and #3 – 400 grit (fine) for pre-polish and final finishing. Each grit is sold individually, allowing users to build a complete progression from rough shaping to fine finishing.
Compatible Materials
Suitable for porcelain tile, porcelain gres, ceramic tile, granite, and natural stone, the Hand Pad Series delivers consistent performance across a wide range of construction and fabrication materials.
Dry and Wet Application Use
These pads can be used dry for quick touch-ups and convenience or wet for a smoother finish, reduced dust, and extended pad life. Wet use is recommended for professional finishing applications requiring the highest surface quality.
