This is an anomaly. I finally had to replace my Flex 3401 Backing Plate as I broke the edges of the plates from dropping my 3401. It was after 4 or 5 years.

Get a new Backing Plate and as Mike said, very rare for the BEAST to experience what you have. KEEP ON ROCKING!

I'm sure the next one I get will hold up. I will definitely keep on rocking!

Very nice to read about FLEX standing behind their products, unlike some other companies out there.

This kind of customer service gives you every reason to spend your money with confidence.

It is really nice. The BEAST is my favorite polisher!

This thing has felt like it was made for me right out of the box.

Chris like myself, thinks something is wrong.

The FLEX BEAST backing plates are just as tough as the BEAST itself.

He let me know he'll contact you.

I haven't heard from Chris yet. Does he need my contact info? I went ahead and bought some Goop glue to fix my backing plate until I can afford another one.

He must have gotten busy, and forgot to contact me.

Make sure to clamp it. I would spread thin and sandwich it between some pieces of 2 x 6, then clamp.
Looks like it dries slow.

I have good luck with Loctite superglue gel. I always clamp when gluing anything if possible.
Hope you get the backing plate resolved

Thanks, I tried to fix it today, but let's just say it's for sure ruined now.

Not only did the the process go wrong with the Goop Glue, but I turned the polisher over to allow the backing plate to rest on a flat surface with the weight of the polisher on the face of the backing plate in hopes it would some how make the two surfaces bond together.

When I realized that I accidentally placed the face of the backing plate on some glue I knew I was screwed.

I was bummed I had to complete the job I did today with my DA polisher but the BEAST'S self teaching feature has made me much better at holding the pad flat to the surface.

Even though I really could have used my 3401 today, my PXE 80 came through.
