Re: Makita 9227 backing plate

For 6" pads I use a 5" Megs BP, I use to use a 4 3/4" but found it too small. For 6.5" pads I use a 6" LC BP, it gives the perfect amount of plate behind the pads for control and effectiveness with a safe distance from the edge of the pad. A 4 3/4" BP for 6.5" pads is far too small, LC recommends a 6" BP for their 6.5" pads.
