DiamaPro 5” Wet/Dry Honeycomb Pad, 50 grit

- Coarse-grit resin polishing pad for the first resin step — 50 grit is the most aggressive resin pad in the honeycomb line, used as the first resin step after metal-bond grinding has opened the floor. Removes the deeper scratch pattern left by the final metal step (typically 80–120 grit) and starts the transition toward a polished surface. Part of DiamaPro Systems' resin polishing pad line, calibrated for cutting speed and tool life.

- Smaller 5" footprint for tight-area and detail polishing — the 5" diameter is sized for narrow edges, around columns and obstructions, on stair treads, in corners, and anywhere a 7" pad is too bulky to maneuver. The smaller pad is also easier to control on overhead work and detail polishing where operator fatigue from a heavier 7" pad becomes an issue. Choose 5" for precision work; choose 7" for production speed on open floors.

- Flexible honeycomb resin design for even pressure and dust evacuation — the hexagonal pattern molded into the pad's face creates large channels that evacuate dust during dry use and water during wet use, preventing the diamond surface from loading up. The honeycomb structure also flexes around contours and lippage, maintaining consistent contact pressure across the entire pad face.

- Wet/Dry dual-mode operation — usable in either condition: wet polishing reduces heat and extends pad life, dry polishing is more convenient on job sites without water access. Note: a 5" backing pad with hook-and-loop attachment is required to mount this pad to a 5" hand polisher (like the DiamaPro HGP-5). Do not run a 5" pad on a 7" backer — the size mismatch creates unsafe exposed hook-and-loop edges at high RPM.

- Critical category distinction: resin pad, not metal segment — honeycomb pads are resin-bonded and run after the metal-bond grinding sequence is complete. A typical concrete polishing progression: metal-bond grinding (16/25/40/80 grit) → transitional / hybrid diamonds → resin polishing pads (50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 3000). Starting the resin sequence here at 50 grit is the standard approach when the floor is coming out of a clean 80–120-grit metal pass. Also commonly used on its own for prepping floors before thin-mil coatings, stains, or densifier applications.
