    Anyword on a smaller flex BP

    Has there been any more on a smaller backing plate for the DA or an adaptor, I have about 50 - 5 inch orange pads just itching to go for a ride on the Flex DA, the flex rotary has been to boring for them, By the way I got the flex LW rotary for X mas, and havent used my Makita since... So yes it has tested true for me.

    If you have access to a lathe, purchase a backing plate and have it turned down to 4.5 inch (114 mm) diameter (minimum usable diameter looks to be 112 mm or 4.4 inches). Local shop should be able to do it in 30 minutes or less. Use a 5 inch pad.
