Polisher Service Kit Repl. Backing Pad (01) For Pol05

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft replacement backing pad kit for the POL05 polisher.
• Hook and loop face to suit standard polishing and compounding pads.

Benefits

• Restores secure grip between backing pad and hook and loop polishing pads.
• Helps pads run truer and more smoothly on the panel for a cleaner finish.
• Reduces vibration and operator fatigue caused by worn or damaged pads.
• Improves consistency of cut and finish across the work area.
• Extends the life of your POL05 by keeping the business end in top condition.

Extra Information

Common signs that a backing pad needs replacement include pads that no longer cling securely, visible burns or melted spots on the face, a pad that has gone noticeably out of shape, or increased vibration even with good bearings. Once the hook and loop surface has worn smooth or the pad has been damaged by heat or impact, a fresh POL05-SK16 backing pad is the simplest way to bring the tool back into line.

This replacement pad is specified for the Tork Craft POL05 rotary polisher, so the thread, mounting boss and pad stiffness are all matched to the original machine. Using the correct genuine pad helps maintain the balance and feel of the polisher, which is especially important when working on high-value automotive finishes and sensitive clear coats.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When you fit a new POL05-SK16 backing pad, take the opportunity to clean old compound and dust out of the backing plate area and from your polishing pads too. Spin the new pad on the machine at low speed with no load to check for smooth running before you attach a polishing pad, then match the pad size and foam type to the work you are doing for the best control and finish.

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before changing the backing pad or pads.
• Ensure the backing pad is correctly threaded on and firmly tightened before use.
• Only use pads that match the backing pad size and hook and loop system.
• Do not use a backing pad that is cracked, badly chipped or severely out of shape.
• Allow the machine to reach full speed before touching the pad to the work, and lift off the panel before switching off.
• Wear appropriate eye, hearing and respiratory protection when polishing.
