    Hey guys. Looking to utilize a buffer for smaller areas that a 6" buffer won`t get into. Has anyone put the 3" backing plate on the Griot`s 6" DA? If so, how did it perform? I see a lot of people say the 3" DA is way under powered so I`m just looking for any other options for those tight hard to reach areas. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I`ve got a 3" pad setup on my old PC. It shreds through stuff with a cutting pad, you have to be careful.

    I`ve done it, used to do it quite often before I got my 3" pneumatic.



    The 3" setup worked fine for me on the GG 6", but as Dan pointed out, you gotta be a little careful with it as it`s one quite aggressive approach.



    Dan- I too had one of my old PCs set up that way, but I finally just couldn`t stand it any more...too much vibration, too little work getting done. You can`t imagine how well the 3" works on a powerful machine

    Interesting, mine isn`t particularly buzzy or anything. About the same as my GG6 on full power. I`d like a better setup but I use it so infrequently....
