Polishing Backing Pad GEKO 125 mm M14 aluminum with hook-and-loop, PROFI

GEKO polishing backing pad 125 mm with M14 thread is a metal-backed support plate designed for use with angle grinders and polishers. The aluminum construction gives the pad a rigid and stable surface to mount abrasive discs and polishing pads, while the hook-and-loop face enables fast attachment and removal of consumables. This backing pad suits surface finishing work on metal, wood and composite materials where consistent pressure distribution and secure disc fixation are needed.

Advantages

The aluminum body keeps the backing pad flat and resistant to deformation under moderate pressure, improving contact between the abrasive or polishing disc and the work surface. The M14 threaded arbor is compatible with most angle grinders and polishers that accept standard M14 fittings, and the hook-and-loop fastening simplifies changing pads without tools. Overall, the design balances durability with practical usability for repeated sanding and polishing cycles.

Suitable for

• Sanding and blending metal surfaces
• Polishing automotive panels and metalwork
• Finishing wooden surfaces and removing minor imperfections
• Working with composite panels and fiberglass

When it may not be suitable

This backing pad is intended for general sanding and polishing; it is not designed for heavy-duty grinding that requires flexible backing or extreme impact resistance. Very aggressive cutting discs or tasks that produce high lateral forces may accelerate wear on the hook-and-loop surface or the disc itself.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 125 mm
• Thread type: M14 compatible
• Material: aluminum backing plate
• Fastening: hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) surface

How to use

Attach the backing pad to a power tool with an M14 spindle, ensuring the tool is powered off and disconnected from the power source. Press the hook-and-loop abrasive or polishing disc firmly onto the pad so it seats evenly across the surface. Start at low speed to check for runout or imbalance, then increase speed as appropriate for the material and disc. Apply steady, moderate pressure and keep the pad moving to avoid creating heat buildup or uneven wear on the disc. Replace worn consumables promptly to maintain consistent finishing results.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your tool accepts M14-threaded accessories.
• Match disc diameter (125 mm) and hook-and-loop fastening to your consumables.
• Consider whether a rigid aluminum backing is appropriate versus a flexible foam-backed pad for your application.

Usage recommendations

Use the GEKO 125 mm M14 aluminum backing pad with appropriately rated abrasives and polishing pads; inspect the pad and discs before each use, and follow the power tool manufacturer's safety and speed limits to ensure safe and consistent finishing results.
