3M Perfect it III backing Plate

thanks it will go out tomorrow.

 

Sounds great thanks again

 

Let us know how you like the 3m backing plate Danny! I'm looking forward to see if you like it as much as the rest of us.

 

i used the 3m for years and loved it. now i upgraded to the festool polisher with M14 spindle, which 3m

 

Good thing i found this thread as i was going to order the CG BP instead of the 3m.

My old Makita died so I just bought Phil's used Makita and i figured it was time to spring for the real deal, so i just ordered the 3M BP from Phil today also.

Cant wait to get the Makita and 3m BP as sometime i still can get a jerk from the rotary and im hoping this BP can help reduce that.

 

Glad it it helped you out. I am sure we are going to like them alot... 3M makes top notch products and tools.

Where did you order the 3M M14 backing plate from since your in the states and no one that I know sells them here? I really liked your thread on the Shinex, I am considering it in the future though.

 

Well I got my 3M Perfect It III Backing plate in its alot softer foam than the CG Evolve4r backing plate so I am sure it will conform to the curves alot better not only that its built much better. Thanks Phil

i have above backing plate, except its blue plastic, velcro is pretty hard on it but i cant compare to other backing plates.

 

Anybody know where to pick up or order the grey version (which is supposedly even softer than the yellow) of this 3m backing plate?

Does 3m make these grey backing plates in 5/8 thread or are they all M14?

 

I didnt know they even had a different version man, maybe polished bliss

Yeah Danny, I knew about these for a while, but there is very little talk about them since they are even rarer than the 09553 yellow ones.

I'll do some more research to see where these could be ordered (I'm thinking they are all M14, so an adapter would be needed to work with U.S. spec polishers. Don't get me wrong, I love the yellow one I got, just wondering how the grey one is.

 

This is the backing plate:

3M Finesse-it Rotary Backing Plate 125mm M14 Soft

Even the description says it's softer than the 09552 (M14)/09553 (5/8) backing plate

 

I just brought all of these in from the UK ( a few months ago ) and have been going between the three. The white ones are quite soft compared to the 3M and the blue ones are very similar. Unfortunately, Flexipads sent the small white ones in M14, making them virtually useless.

 

Wow! Nice Ken! Those white ones look similar to the CG ones.

 

They look similar, but they are in fact different. These are quite soft and wee awesome following the contours on a boat I recently did. The top plastic piece is actually recessed into the top of the pad.

 

I made ken get the first two backing plates. Mine are still going strong, and still my favourite.

 

Ken, so the white plates are also made by Flexipads? I might pick up a few if I can find a source.

 

I have my brand new 3M Perfect it III for sale if anyone is interested I bought it from Phil but never used it. I am getting a Festool Shinex to replace my Makita and the 5/8" version that I have doesn't fit it, so I am selling to get the UK version in an M14 thread. Here is the link to the For sale thread.
