I really like having the handle.. but its unusable on high speeds. Im going to have to come up with something to dampen the vibrations.

Scottwax, Excel 6^^ Rotary Flex Plate is this the 6 inch plate that you use for your UDM? It says it's meant for a rotary. Have you experienced anything negative with using this bigger size plate so far?

That plate would require an adapter to work with a DA. Based on that and he doesn't have a rotary I doubt that he's using that plate.

Hmm...he said he's using exceldetail's 6 inch backing plate, but there's no 6 inch plate for the PC on that site...

Thanks! How did you find that?

Edit: Nevermind I just searched the site for the backing plate and it popped up!

Change is good. It took me a long time to admit that hand polishing was, in the end, simply a waste of my time. No better results... just longer and a sore elbow.

Just stop using the handle...you'll find your machine will easier to use and control. Also, less vibrations.

Maybe a rubber washer between the handle & machine? I don't know if it would work, but might help.

The vibrations are from the pads. When I use 6" or larger the UDM becomes a bear. The 5" CCS are perfectly balanced with almost no vibrations.

Also, I prefer using the UDM without the handle.

You know Scott if you want to try my rotary out this winter I would be happy to ship it to you. I will have no need for it as of about November 1st due to weather here. All I ask is you pay shipping to return it to me.

I was looking at the 5-1/4 pads from Lake County. Before I spend MORE money does anyone know why if that is indeed the case why most resellers package with 6" pads? If what cgage is saying is correct why not supply with what appears to be a less expensive pad. Just because of size that is. Thanks.
