Multi-Grit System — 4 Stages, Full Polishing Progression
The CoolPAD 2 replaces multiple traditional polishing steps. Select your stage from the variant dropdown:
- #1 — Coarse (approx. 30 / 60 / 120 grit equivalent) — material removal & edge shaping
- #2 — Medium (approx. 120 / 200 / 400 grit equivalent) — smoothing & refinement
- #3 — Fine (approx. 400 / 800 / 1000 grit equivalent) — pre-polish & finishing

One system covers the entire polishing process with fewer tool swaps.
