No. The backing plates for rotaries and DA polishers are extremely different in how they attach to the machine. With a DA backing plate you wouldn`t want it to be extremely soft.

Hey Todd, what size poads do you use on the w66. I find the flex foam is perfect on my constant pressure pads, but because of the 5.5" exact velcro on it, the w66 is a bit larger.
Todd I want to thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Very good article. Simple explanation & easy to comprehend.
Actually that`s not 100% correct big guy. Dual Action Adapter
NOTE: I haven`t tried one of these & really wouldn`t want to.
Agreed!
Nice piece.
How thick a backing plate is will also impact tight areas being worked. It`s hard to beat a small diameter backing plate and pad combo for tag areas and below side mirrors, ect. A lower profile plate will provide the widest range of coverage in those areas with less risk of impacting against a sensitive part. Taping off a sensitive area is a must at any rate, but tape is more of a back up than a crutch.
With an exposed spinning backing plate, the less risk of causing damage the better. (all other things being equal)
