+1 !!! Great alternative, I have similar setup minus the Angle, and a flex shaft instead . Just adding as a testimony of this being a good alternative.

I give credit to Mike for helping me source some of the stuff.

How does the 1 inch backing plate hold up to the speed of the rotary?

Very cool tools. Could someone please say where to buy them. I am interested. If can not say on post, please PM me. Thanks in advance.

With a variable speed rotary it`s a non issue. You can select a very controllable speed with the backing plate and pad on. I have the Dremel 3000 rotary and depending on which pad I choose speed 2 or 3 work good for me with 1" pads. With 2" backing plate and pad I have to bump the speed up to 3 or 4.

Yeah pretty much what mike said. The speed is not insane , in my case with the WEN Tool I was fine with speed 1-2 and you can adjust pressure to slow it down or allow it to speed back up. The BP feels sturdy enough to handle that , just make sure you use a rotary with variable speeds.

Considering all the interest, posting this write up on Reddit`s /r/AutoDetailing section would be great. No need for PMs there. Just my $.02

*UPDATE ON PAINT TEST*

So long story short, no burn through after really trying to the point where my pad melted/shredded/deformed. For details and pics continue reading below.



Took readings of one spot that I marked the size of the pad, to stay on the same spot for sure. Readings before and after cutting and polishing session using orange light cutting/M105 and black finishing pad/M205 were pretty much the same 2.7 Mils / 70 Microns and there was swirl removal.







Swirl removal on another section:





For the burn through test spot , I took the yellow pad which has the heaviest cut of them 3,some M105 and I just left it on the same spot for almost a full minute increasing the speed to pretty much a speed I personally wouldn`t use. Nothing, no burn through. Tried it again for 30 seconds,more product and higher speed, stopped and added more product then continued for another 30 seconds and nothing . Tried it aggressively (more than necessary really) on a panel edge and nothing either. it removed the swirls and cleaned the area nicely, but no burn through.



Reference shot for you to see swirls in the area:



This is my pad after trying to burn through :



NOTE: Just because I did not experience burn through, does not mean that you will not. As most of us know, finishes will vary in thickness and "hardness" and I`m sure my test hood is a respray because normally this vehicle year/model is single stage and this hood is not plus when it was on the vehicle there was a yellowing to it compared to an actual SS panel. Also, if you plan on JUST getting the angled attachment like the one mikejames showed, I`d recommend doing what he did and getting BOTH so you can also have the flex attachment because your rotary tool (if like mine) will get pretty hot.

I hope this info helps.

Thank you for this review Migue, great work! When using a variable speed rotary with the 1" backing plate and pad you have way more control then one might think. It`s not a runaway train. like when using a small rotary bit. lol If this weather ever warms up here I will do more testing also, I have some headlights on a pickup that needs some attention.
