Easy buff backing plate

beefy z · 06-08-07, 09:35

anyone try this new megs w66 yet; easy buff backing plate. is it much of a difference or is meant to replace the w64 that been used for so long ? incidently, the backing plate that comes with the makita 9227; what's the major reason for wanting to change that to one of the above.

Which plate comes with the 9227?? I was going to order one next week and thought I would definitely need a new BP.

Um, I'm not 100% sure, but it's either a 7 or 7.5" backing plate and it fits on the wool pads that comes with the Makita. This is for the bundle with the bag.

the pad that comes with the 9227 is non flexible; its not made out of plastic. i was wondering if that made much of a difference in the end results. i tried it last night and it didn't but then again it was one of my few experiences with the rotary and i was wondering why you guys who use the rotary full time will often switch to one of the mentioned soft backing plates. again, any major differences to converting to a different backing plate than comes with the 9227 ?

Well for one thats a pretty damn big BP. I guess I will have to order a backing plate as well next week.

What backing plate do you guys recommend for 6.5" foam pads on a rotary?
