3D black lambswool pad backing plate

[Matt Cardoni]

Just a quick question. I`m thinking about ordering the black lambswool pad to try out. According to the site, it is available in 2 sizes, 5.1 and 6.1 inches. Since these are not a standard size, and there are no pictures of the Velcro side to see how big it is, can anyone tell me the proper backing plate size for each? I currently have the Meg`s W64 plate (~4.75") and a ~6.5" plate for the rotary and the Meg`s W67DA for the PC. I also believe I read that people have had success on a PC with this. Can anyone confirm? I know the general rule is wool is for rotary only.

Hey Matt,

The 5.1" wool should work fine with your 4.75" plate. We use a 4 7/8" backing normally. The 6.1" wool is normally used with a 5 7/8" plate.



The wood pads work great with DA or rotary.



Let me know if I can answer anything else for you.

Are the 5.1" black lambswool pads in stock?

Thanks Ben for the info. 2 other questions.

1. I`m assuming the 5" flexible foam HD rotary plate will work with these? I was thinking of trying a flexible plate and comparing it to the pretty stiff Meg`s plate.

2. Do you have any info on the new yellow wool pads David Fermani mentioned in another thread? Will these replace the black lambswool?

I always use an interface pad with the 3D wool and PFW pads. More comfortable, better control and finish.
