• Best For: Concrete and stone crews running 7 inch polishing or sanding pads on a threaded 5/8 inch to 11 grinder spindle.
• Highlight: The hard rubber durometer holds a flatter profile than a foam backer, which is what surface-prep work on concrete and stone needs.
• Expert Note: Match the 7 inch backer to a 7 inch pad - an overhanging pad edge on a hard backer digs in and leaves swirl marks a softer foam backer would have absorbed.
