I always thought it was a waste not being able to use backing plates from both rotary and PC on any of them, so I have made these adapters that work just like that:



- One can use a BP from the PC on the rotary and another from the rotary on the PC.

that 3m pad is supposed to be used w/ a random orbital to apply their finishing glaze! That`s why I wanted to use it with the PC and that backing plate.

You made those adapters yourself? Pretty impressive.



Lake Country makes them already if you can find someone who sells them...
