Chem-Set 6 in Flip Edge Backing Pad, Hook and Loop

Description

The Chem-Set flip edge backing pad is a 6 inch hook and loop disc holder for sanding and finishing solid surface, stone, and countertop materials. The flexible flip edge lets the pad bend into coves and against raised edges while the hook and loop face grips abrasive discs for fast grit changes. It is the link between the sander and the disc that does the work.

Where the flip edge backing pad works

Countertop and solid surface fabricators run this pad on random orbital and rotary sanders to blend seams, knock down high spots, and bring panels to a uniform finish. The 6 inch size matches standard hook and loop discs, so a shop can move through a full grit sequence without swapping to another tool. The flexible face follows gentle contours that a hard backer would skip over.

How the flip edge backing pad holds up

The hook and loop field holds discs flat through repeated changes, and the flip edge flexes without tearing so the pad reaches detail areas a rigid backer cannot. The result is even pressure across the disc, fewer swirl marks, and longer disc life. A flexible pad also cuts down on gouges when a disc edge catches a seam or a hard corner. Keep a spare on the bench so a worn hook and loop face never slows a finishing job.
