Well I read about people who complaining about the Makita BO6040 backing plates choices. With the BO6040 you have only the ability to use 150mm backing plate. This is not end of the world!:devil: So what to do?
Yessss:lol:with a simple mod, you can hook any DA 5/16 thread backing plate on your BO6040:argie: We need this mod, because all DA plates are using English/USA thread. While the Makita using metric thread, so it doesn't fit
Now back to the future:car:
The tools you need:
Thread toolkit.
Allen wrench.
And at least 2-10 ten fingers
Here we go!:driver:
-Open your thread toolkit and pick the right tools sizes (in this case 5/16).
Then start to mod the backing plate thread.
-Take a test 8mm bolt and test if the bolt moving easily on the new thread.
-Take some coffee.
-Clean all your stuff and and enjoy your new sexy machine:buffer:
