General Manufacturing
The Diamond Handpad is one of our most popular flexible abrasive tools, valued for its convenience in grinding, finishing, and polishing a wide range of materials. It is often used dry, but for a more polished finish with resin pads, it should be used wet with plain water.

How it’s Made
Every flexible superabrasive tool is built with three essential layers for durability and performance:
Grit – cBN or diamond, available in a wide range of grit sizes to suit coarse grinding through fine finishing
Bond – a durable matrix that holds the abrasive grains in place, ensuring consistent cutting performance and long tool life
Backing – a flexible yet strong foundation that provides stability, durability, and the ability to conform to curves and complex shapes
