Look for a significant increase
in "end-play" (wobble) at the
business-end of such a set-up.

Re: DA to pad extension bars
for PC style machines (PC, Megs, Griot's 6") - the thread is 5/16 - 24
FUNX650 might have a point. About a week ago, I finally tried using an extension that I had for some time. It was meant to be put on a PC7424. I used it on a machine that has a bearing that's going bad. So it had a small amount of play. Well, the extension worked for a bit. Was doing good on a small test spot. When I went for a second pass, that thing looked like it had a 1" throw! I turned it off to inspect what happened. The extension bent almost 45* near the threaded area. Too bad. It looked like a nice piece, polished up. It was a little pricey, too. Oh well.
Re: DA to pad extension bars
i'm not a fan of putting extensions on the DA, IME they can come loose and that's a disaster waiting to happen if it flies of and damages the paint. use with caution if you decide to do so...

Bad idea. Think about the orbit of a DA. A pad on an extension would shake very badly.
I bought LC 3" Flat Pads, which are particularly tall, exactly for the purpose of reaching tight areas with my 7427XP.

I don't know about AGO...but, nowadays,
I sure wouldn't want "extension-liability"
