There are three different Dynabrade head kits. In addition to the above two, there is the Dynadrade dual-action buffing head Dynabrade - Dual-Action Buffing Head (DYN61379), which is different (and less expensive) than the other two head hits.

For any one interested here are some pictures of my set up along with my old Makita.
Keep in mind that I have cut the foam backing plate right to the edge of the hard plastic. It made it smaller so I could use the pad size I like 6.5" LC.

Very cool setup.

Hmm...and here I'd gone entire months without thinking about getting a Dynabrade

can you use the smaller 5.5inch pads and backing plate? i dont like the bigger ones. that and a friend made some pads and gave me a boat load of them. i would really like to buy to use with the smaller pads

That Backing plate is it. You can't get one any smaller. For now

Quite interesting !!

It's very tempting but I think I'll pass... for now.

hmm i'll wait. unless i can see one without buying. i might be able to machine a new center for it and adapt a smaller one

It has a patten #. However It would be nice to see a company like Edge make a copy of one and offer different size backing plates.

any da threaded backign plate will fit.

the problem with the smaller plates is the machine cutting into the pads.
