4" Angle Grinder Pad Holder with Centering Pin | Mechanic Centrum PRO 2.0
4" Angle Grinder Pad Holder for Polishing Pads
The Mechanic Centrum PRO 2.0 4" pad holder is a professional-grade angle grinder backing pad designed to securely hold polishing pads in place during grinding and finishing.
Featuring an integrated centering pin, this pad holder prevents slipping, improves alignment, and delivers more consistent polishing results – especially during detailed edge work on porcelain tile and stone.
Pad Holder vs Standard Backing Plate
- Standard backing plate – relies on Velcro only; pad can shift as Velcro wears
- Centrum PRO 2.0 (centering pin) – mechanically locks pad in place for greater stability and precision
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the centering pin prevent slipping?
Yes, it keeps the pad aligned and prevents movement during operation – even when Velcro backing begins to wear.
Can I use pads from other brands?
Yes. The centering pin is removable for universal compatibility with different pad formats.
