Ingco Polishing Pad with Flange, 180mm, M14x2 Nut, APP0201801

Our review

This is a 180mm rubber polishing pad with an integrated flange, made by Ingco and listed under model APP0201801. The M14x2 nut is the common spindle thread on many angle polishers and rotary machines, so it should thread straight onto tools that use that fitting. The rubber body gives a firmer, less forgiving surface than a foam backing pad, which suits users who want controlled contact for compounding, cutting back oxidised paint, or working metal and stone rather than delicate final finishing. Before ordering, confirm your machine's spindle thread is M14x2 and that a 180mm pad is the size your tool and task call for, since pads of this type also come in smaller diameters and in foam or wool versions. Compare the backing material and flange design against what you already use, and check that your chosen polishing consumable matches the pad's mounting.
