The new rotary plates that are coming out along with Optimum's MF system look very similar to these (I suspect they're sourced from the same place) and there is a small one, I think 3"

The reason it's not included is because while some of the Lake Country Rotary Buffer Backing Plates do have a outer skin as a portion of the plate itself, the two backing plates in this article take that idea a step further and have a foam interface between the actual backing plate and the Velcro Hook-N-Loop material.
It's a major difference in "types" of backing plates which in turn creates two distinct "categories" of rotary buffer backing plates.
Make sense?
Good question though...

It always feels good to be vindicated by someone like Richy as I too love the flexible rotary buffer backing plates. As to your question... see below...

Correctamundo...
Here's a picture of the three flexible backing plates of which at this time we have the to larger versions in stock.
Dimensions
7" backing plate measures 6 15/16" in diameter, basically it a hair under 7"
5" backing plate measures 4 7/8"
3" backing plate measures 2 7/8"

Re: Flexible Backing Plates for Rotary Buffers
Excellent and EXTREMELY useful thread Mike!!
I purchased a foam bp just to find it was only 5" and doesn't fit my pads!! I need a 6"... Hoping I can trade the 5" one back since I never used it.
Optimum has a 6" dia. foam bp coming out for the system as well don't they? I could have sworn they did because I was planning on getting it.

I have seen that as well; it's listed as "Coming Soon" on another vendor's site so I'm betting AG will probably get it soon too.
