M14 M16 5/8-11 Thread Bar Adaptor For Polisher And Polishing Pad
An adaptor for a polisher with varying thread types is a device that enables the connection of polishing accessories (such as extension shafts or support plates) with threads that are distinct from those on the spindle of the polisher. This is particularly beneficial when your polishing equipment has thread sizes or types that are incompatible, as it allows you to utilize a broader selection of accessories with your polisher.

Important Considerations for Using Adaptors
- Thread Compatibility: Ensure the adaptor matches both the polisher's spindle and the accessory's thread type and size.
- Quality and Material: Choose high-quality adaptors made from durable materials like stainless steel or aluminum to prevent stripping or wearing out the threads.
- Length and Fit: Select adaptors that fit securely without adding excessive length, which could compromise the polisher's balance and control.
- Right-Hand Threads: Most polishers and accessories use right-hand threads (tightening clockwise), so ensure the adaptor matches this standard to prevent loosening during use.
