Rotary Backing Plate question

[Todd@RUPES]

I`m currently using W68. But curious about W66. Curious how those 2 BP compares each other. Anybody have experience with both BP, please chime in.
Thanks...

I have both BP`s. The W68 is a nice backing plate and a more traditional design. The W66 is much softer and conturs to the surface much easier. The W68 might have a slight edge in cutting power, but I like the smooth feel of the W66.

Thanks for info. So I assumed that more rigid design contribute to more cutting power. Just wondering how much clear that i`d removed when i was using M205 + a modified/trimmed standard makita backing plate (a bit less jiggle after it`s trimmed, but still jiggles badly and the rigid design even makes it worse) combined with W8207 and finished with W9207 back then (at the very 1st time i got my hand on rotary). Still can managed to achieve the desired result with no marring and hologram (i was told that keeping the pad as flat as posibble and steady hand movement are the keys to avoid holograms, but sometimes i`ve to add pressure to prevent pad hop with standard makita bp except for the 2 last passes - tryin to be gentle as possible), but without PTG, it`s hard to tell that i haven`t removed too much clear.

I love the W66 as well, it`s a lot cheaper then the 3M UK BP

When I eventually get my rotary, I will have to keep this in mind.
Thanks Todd.
