Mytundra Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 To get a used polisher? I have a cheap one from harbor freight that may do the job. But I believe all the pads require a 5" backing plate correct? The polisher I have has a 6" backing plate. Help? Or maybe I should juse get a new backing plate?

0 hemi1300 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 This forum, used polishers pop up all the time in the classifieds. There is a flexible 3401 for sale now, and cyclos seem to pop up every once in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LFairbanks Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Adams sells backing plates. Whether or not they would fit on what you have already, I don't know. I'm sure if you called them and asked they would be able to tell you. 1 (866) 965-0400 http://adamspolishes.com/shop/accessories/buffing-pads-applicators.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 chops1sc Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I have 2 Harbor Freight polishers. One has a 3" plate an one has a 5" plate. They work but they have a lot of vibration. The only reason I haven't purchased a nice Rupes is the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
