Granite edges look cheap when grit steps are skipped. A dry pad sequence keeps shops moving without flooding the floor.
Dry diamond polishing pads are a shop tool, not a shortcut around process. Protec Tools pads are graded so fabricators can move from coarse shaping to a closed polish on granite edges without washing slurry into electrical areas.
Start Coarse, Then Close the Scratch
Begin with a grit that removes the saw or profiler marks, not one that only burnishes them. Each finer pad should erase the previous scratch pattern. Skipping from 50 to 400 grit leaves deep tracks that resin will not hide under indoor lighting.
Heat and Dust Control
Dry pads glaze when the operator dwells or overspeeds. Keep the pad moving, match RPM to pad diameter, and extract dust. Loaded pads polish the paste instead of cutting it.
- Confirm the pad is rated dry before running without water.
- Vacuum between grits so leftover coarse grit does not re-scratch.
- Replace pads that smear or leave grey burn marks.
- Finish with the grit the customer’s gloss spec actually requires.
Tell Protec Tools your typical granite and target gloss when ordering private-label dry pad kits.
