Backing plate for 4" pads

What backing plate do you guys use when using 4" pads with your rotarys? Also whos pads do you use?


Tys

 

Nobody uses 4" pads with their rotarys?

 

I LOVE 4" pads with my makita!!! I use LC CCS pads with a 2 3/4" BP....

I got the backing plate from AG

 

I dont have a favorite backing plate to use with 4" pads. I feel the 2 3/4 is a little small, the 3 3/4 is a little big. If they made something between 3- 3.5 then that would be perfect.

 

That's exactly what I have 2.3/4" BP from AG,and the low profile lc pads .

2-3/4 Hook & Loop Backing Plate

 

Here you go D&D. I hope that's what you're looking for.

 

Four inch pads are a must on my car. I use the 3.5 in. backing plate.

 

4inch pads are wicked and are a must. As for backing plate I can't recall the one I curently have but I'll be receiving a 75 mm (2.95inches) Rotary Backing Plate looks something like this:



Coming from Polished Bliss.

 

Thats for a PC not a rotary...

 

Im finding out that a 4" pad setup is going to be nice to have.

Now if I know you Carlos you didnt just order one of these plates........are you willing to sell one:whistle:

 

lol..man you guys know me to well don't you hahahaha.

I'll have only a few of these backing plates but the thing is that they are not 5/8th thread, they are M14 thread UK style. How I'm going to make this work with my rotary(s) is that I had my machine shop make me an adaptor 5/8th female, M14 male. It looks something like this:





It's identical to the spindle extension that came with the Metabo.

As to if I would sell a backing plate, not sure if people would be interested on the adaptor. I'm having a hard time breaking down the price of the 3M UK pads now if I had to sell the adaptor man that's going to be tough...reason being I own the machien shop so I didn't have to pay for the adaptors, but if I had to I can get the guys to break the cost down for me

So to answer the question if I would be willing to sell the backing plate is that I would have to think about it, I'm just not sure it's worth the hasle that's all..not trying to be gready here.

 

Whoops, my apologies!

FWIW, I use the cyclo Edge foam pads which obviously don't require a backing plate.

 

Break it down and I will take one of each.

 

lol...will do..um..:idea: :idea:
