Flexipad FAQs Is Flexipad suitable for professional use? Yes, Flexipad products are widely used in professional bodyshops, detailing studios, and fabrication workshops throughout the UK. The Flexipads World Class range is specifically engineered for demanding commercial environments where consistency and durability are essential. Their backing pads and polishing foams deliver repeatable results across multiple jobs, making them a trusted choice among automotive refinishers and metal fabricators. What thread size do I need for my angle grinder or polisher? Flexipad backing pads are available in both M14 (metric) and 5/8 UNC (imperial) thread configurations, covering the vast majority of angle grinders and polishers used in UK workshops. Check your tool's spindle thread before ordering – M14 is most common on European angle grinders, whilst 5/8 UNC is frequently found on polishing machines. MyToolShed.co.uk product descriptions clearly specify thread types for easy selection. How do I choose between soft and hard backing pads? Soft backing pads like the Grinder Pad Soft provide flexibility for curved panels and contoured surfaces, allowing the abrasive disc to conform to irregular shapes. Hard backing pads such as the Turbo Pad Hard offer maximum rigidity for flat surface work and aggressive material removal. For general workshop versatility, medium density pads like the Super Flex provide an excellent balance between conformability and cutting efficiency.
