PC velcro backing extension...

I have no clue what the correct term for this is, but I could've sworn I saw something about it on the forums... The backing plate gets pretty hot most of the time when using the PC, and I was wondering if anyone had any information as far as some extension adapter is concerned... something 1-2" long which will screw into the PC then onto the backing plate



Basically a 2" cylinder with a male and female threaded end



Anyone here make one, bought one, etc...

Ive never seen such a thing but i did have an idea like this long ago, never seen one though.

This is a pic of one a person did to fit a Euro M14 backing plate...

This might be something we have to take to a machine shop and have custom made. Of course we dont know how long it needs to be. Since it will be metal it will heat up just as quick.

How would this have any impact on the temperature of the backing plate?

Basic heat transfer. The longer the adapter is, the lower the temperature will be at the other end due to the ladle effect- of course, the longer the adapter is the less stability you'll have, too, so it is a balancing act.



Think about it - your cooking tongs where you hold them aren't the same temp as it is at the other end. It's all a matter of heat transfer from the surface of the adapter to the air. That heat transfer is directly related to surface area.

That's all fine and quite obvious if the heat source is the PC itself. However, I thought the majority of heat was generated by the pad interaction on the paint. Am I mistaken?
 
The PC's aggresive movement actually heats up the head of the buffer, which heats up BP plates. Which kills BP's, pads and edge2k adapters.

Using a rotary, a very big majority of the heat comes from the pad/paint interaction... like Coupe said, the PC due to it's activity, heats up the head, then the heat is transfered, and just like he said, eventually kills everything it's attached to
