Materials & Construction
The Smart Connector M14 Pin is a component of the RUPES SMARTFIX system, providing a mechanical M14 pin connection point that lets double-sided rotary pads press-lock onto the backing plate without threading.
Product Description
Why you'll want it
- No tools needed to change pads. Each pad clicks onto the SMARTFIX backing plate. When it is time to switch, you pull it straight off. Your hands do the work, and no wrench is needed.
- No threads to cross or overtighten. Because the pad has no threads, the cross-threading and over-tightening problems that threads can cause are kept out of the picture.
- A steady hold during heavy polishing. The click-lock keeps the pad seated while you work. The product description says it gives a stable, reliable connection during heavy-duty polishing.
- Quick pad changes for fall and winter work. Fall is a good time to polish the boat before winter storage. Quicker pad changes save time on the job.
