Tanzfrosch 12 Pack 4 inch Diamond Polishing Pads Set Wet/Dry Polishing Kit 10pcs 50#-3000# Grit Pads with 2pcs Hook and Loop Backer Pads for Granite Stone Concrete Marble Floor Grinder or Polisher

Bought this to finish a small piece of quartz countertop being made from a scrap piece we had gotton from a counter top maker (they have lots of drop pieces, usually for free - cut with a diamond blade in a circular saw). Only used these disks wet, they did not seem to run well dry. Since a small job I drilled a small hole in the bottom of a bean can, filled with water and that gave a slow trickle right where needed keeping the working area wet. Disks worked as expected, had no issues with the hook & loop attachment of the disks - very secure, take care to center them. The final finish was not a mirror finish but was very nice and looked the same as the factory finish on the top surface. Buffing compound would have got me to the mirror finish if was desired, may be different with natural stone. Very happy with product and results.

We have a marble (travertine) vanity top that got etched badly by some toilet bowl cleaner. I tried some automotive compound at first, but while it did remove the etching it also made the natural veining look very bumpy and not smooth. The marble polishing kit on this page is definitely what is needed to fix a deep etch like we had (the proper way) and get it smooth. I used a DA orbital buffer on the lowest setting and spent a lot of time on each pad with no pressure on the buffer (just the weight of it) and moved the buffer VERY slowly across the surface. Do NOT move the buffer quickly, as that will give you swirls. Try to be like a machine. Do more passes on the final grits for better results - like 20 minutes per pad. This worked to smooth the surface out, BUT did NOT get it to the super high-gloss finish that we had before. It was dull and did not sharply reflect light like it did originally (even on 3,000 grit). You need another product for that: Tenax Marble Polishing Powder with a buffing pad. Doing that as the final step gives you the mirror-like finish seen in the final photo. So overall this kit was great, though we just needed that powder to finish the job.

I bought these polishing pads to recreate a bevel on the manufactured stone seat and threshold that I installed in my shower. I was under the impression that these would work using my angle grinder, but that wasn't the case the kit came with 50 to 3000 grit polishing pads as shown in the listing. it also came with two threaded rods and two Velcro pad mounting attachments with female threaded connections to connect the provided rods. I can't remember now if the listing said it or not, but I had thought it stated it could be used with the threaded stem on your angle grinder. there may be some angle grinders for which that is the case, but not for mine. the female end in the pad mounting attachment was much smaller diameter than that of my angle grinder and so I wasn't able to use these pads on my angle grinder. the included threaded rods, however, screwed into the pad mounting attachment and the rod was easily able to fit in the chuck of both my corded and cordless drills. I attached each pad to the mount as I worked my way through the various grits to get from removing material to polishing the bevel I had created using the coarser grout pads. after attaching each pad to the mount, I dipped the polishing surface of each pad in a bucket of water and then commenced polishing. if the surface looked like it was getting dry I would rewet the pad and keep going. you don't feel like you're taking off much material on the coarser grit pads from 50-150, but you definitely are, so just be careful as you go. once you get above 300 grout you're not taking off much of anything and above 1000 you're just strictly polishing. they worked great and I've kept them to use on fire projects. I didn't need them for much so there's still loads of polishing surface yet to use so I can't speak to how much polishing you will get out of a set. all I can say is they worked great for what I needed them and when I was I couldn't tell the difference between the factory bevel and polish from what I'd done myself. well worth the money just don't count on using your angle grinder to do the work. you'll need to play around with how you hold your drill relative to the surface of whatever you're polishing because if you hold it wrong the pads will move around on you a lot. once you get a hang of that, the rest is easy and you'll get great results. I hope that helps!

I bought these to polish up some rocks that I cut on my tile saw, and saw some mixed reviews so I didn't get my hopes up about the pads. Turns out they were ridiculously easy to use in my cordless drill, and they worked great on my thunder egg and a $1 almandine garnet (which has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, so its a pretty tough rock). The pictures don't do them justice so I included a short video of the garnet to show the polish. I'd still like to go a little finer, but that's no fault of these pads. The actual pads are pretty small though, so I wouldn't recommend them for large jobs. Definitely still worth it if you are just getting into "garage lapidary" or have a small section of your countertop that needs a quick shine.

These diamond polishing pads are just what I was looking for to do Lapidary on my jem stones. I'm getting a great finish on my stone slabs I cut for jewelry making. Brings the stones to a nice high polish. I was suppressed on how the velcro is very heavy duty.

This product was average. It will take care of a light job but you will need something more for a serious polishing project The price was good so not too upset since it will be handy for touchups or less intense restoration. I appreciated the easy to use velcro on the pads.

Ok

I used these on a marble bathroom floor with both a drill and a random orbital polisher from Harbor Freight. The polisher was easier. The pads took out the scratches and etch marks, but did not leave a mirror finish, it was more flat. Some polishing pad commentators noted they used Tenax Marble Polishing Powder after the pads, so I tried that with good success. I used it with GLASS POLISH 11010 GP-PRO Felt Polishing Pad Set. I will never polish marble flooring again, it was way too much work and mess and I am a certifiable home handyman. Maybe I would do a small tabletop. Overall, it turned out okay, but the tiles were not laid perfectly flat, so the edges were impossible to polish. Just get a bigger rug.

Does the job

Poor quality product, It is very thin. Its not a worth for money.

Used for grinding tile edges. It lasts for a while. Good for the money. Quality is good

Excellent! These work extremely well. I polished up about 3m of 30mm granite worktop edge with about 20% wear on disc edge of 50 grit disc. I think I was a little heavy handed on disc edge as wear on middle of disc was minimal. Two pads meant I could mount in two tools. Excellent delivery and very small box, so very little packaging. Well done.

Haven’t used it yet. Looks great tools
