NO-SPIN BACKER
Omni Cubed Inc., Placerville, Calif., introduces the Omni Cubed No-Spin Backer Pad for faster results and less damage to surrounding vertical surfaces during polishing or refinishing. The USA-patent-pending product features a rigid aluminum Velcro® backer with a unique free-floating disc on top. Surrounding this disc is a protective rubber bumper that, when pushed against a wall, mirror or backsplash causes the disc to float (stop spinning) while the polishing pad continues to spin beneath it. The disc acts as a built-in roller guide, allowing fast and precise cut patterns and reducing the typical damage caused by the edge of spinning polishing pads. The backer has 5/8-11 threads and includes a PVC spacer washer to keep the threads from locking up on the polishing spindle when hot.
