The backing plate connects your polisher to the pad, and a worn or warped plate causes vibration, uneven cut and pads that fly off mid-pass. This 5-inch plate gives polishing pads a firm, even mounting surface, helping the machine run smoothly and the pad stay centered.
- Match pad size to the plate, using pads slightly larger than the plate to protect paint from its edge
- Check that the spindle thread and orbit size match your polisher before fitting the plate
- Replace the plate if the hook-and-loop face wears thin or pads stop holding firmly
- Center pads carefully to reduce vibration and wear
