Description
The Avalanche is a 4" premium wet polishing pad engineered for granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone in the Avalanche 7-step system. Constructed with a dense diamond-loaded resin bond and a precision-engineered surface pattern for optimal slurry evacuation, thermal stability, and cutting efficiency, this pad is built to handle demanding initial passes with speed and control. Wet use is required for proper cooling and dust suppression, and due to its dark resin formulation, it is recommended mainly for medium-to-dark stones to prevent pigment transfer.
- At 50 grit, it provides aggressive stock removal—eliminating saw marks, leveling uneven surfaces, and preparing the stone for progressive refinement. Recognized as a top-of-the-line coarse pad, Avalanche 50 establishes the strong foundation needed for a flawless high-gloss finish through the full 7-step progression.
- At the 100-grit stage, it aggressively refines the surface after the initial cut, removing saw marks and establishing a uniform base for the finer grits.
- At 200 grit, it transitions the surface from the aggressive cut of the 100-grit pad to a smoother, more uniform texture, eliminating visible scratches and preparing the stone for medium grits.
- At 400 grit, it removes scratches left by the 200-grit pad and begins developing a smooth, even surface with the first signs of light sheen, preparing the stone for higher polishing steps. Recognized as one of the most durable and precise pads in its class, Avalanche 400 helps fabricators move seamlessly from surface refinement toward a flawless high-gloss finish.
- At 800 grit, it removes residual scratches left from earlier steps and begins to develop a refined, even surface with a soft sheen, preparing the stone for high-grit finishing. Regarded as a top-tier pad, Avalanche 800 ensures reliable progression toward the ultimate mirror finish achieved in the final stages.
- At 1500 grit, it removes fine micro-scratches left by earlier steps and begins developing a pre-polish clarity, preparing the surface for the ultimate mirror finish. Recognized as a top-of-the-line pad, Avalanche 1500 combines the industry’s best resin technology with maximum diamond loading to ensure durability, precision, and a flawless progression toward the final gloss.
- At 3000 grit, it eliminates the finest micro-scratches and produces a mirror-like polish with depth, clarity, and long-lasting brilliance. Regarded as a top-of-the-line finishing pad, Avalanche 3000 gives fabricators the highest level of refinement and durability for professional-grade stone surfaces.
