Re: 3" backing plate on Makita PO5000C
Hi Mike
I really appreciate the thread, especially as a newbie. it could be a nice stop gap solution, as its probably a good idea to see if I am competent at polishing before buying another machine.
I fully appreciate your comment that its not an endorsement of the practice ... obviously the way to go is to get the Flex 7-12 80
Very interesting you found it smooth running.
I noticed just running free air without the intended 4” pad it, on speed 1 it vibrated more than the 6” backing plate on its own. But seemed better on speed 3.
So hopefully the extra pad weight will make it smoother, plus of course putting it on the panel.
again very much appreciated.
just wish I lived in the US and could easily by stuff from you.
hopefully we will do a good trade deal with the US, and enable cost effective shipping across the pond.

Kind of funny to me because I've been point out and answering questions about holding a tool in the AIR and running it and then noticing the vibration for probably 15 years.
Don't judge a "tool" for vibration by holding it in the air and running it
Judge a "pad" on "some tools" by holding it in the air and running it, here's my article on that topic. Sorry to say, at this time the gallery is still not reconfigured so the pictures "I" posted are missing. There are pictures from Eldorado2K in the thread that make the point.
The Air Test - Using NON RUPES pads on RUPES Polishers by Mike Phillips
And judge a tool for vibration once you've chosen the appropriate pad and have placed the pad with product against a PANEL and then running it.
Buffers/Polishers were not deigned nor engineered to correct and polish the air.
