RUBBER is very durable yet flexible. It provides a longer service life and can be used for heavy duty applications. It is also more expensive. Use rubber pads for grinding, heavier sanding, rust removal, and weld removal. Rubber pads are commonly used with abrasive discs that are 50 grit and lower.

Our previous supplier for many years is no longer in business and we have been shopping for a high quality rubber disc pad replacement. The plastic pads do not work well with the work we do. New 7" rubber disc pads are excellent and just what we were looking for.
Thanks,
