You lost me somewhere. I understand the 4" plate for a 4" pad (although I'm not sure why it isn't 3-3/4 or 3-7/8). But you show the std. plate which is 5.5" with what I presume was a 6.5" pad. Then you put the 6" plate on, and say to use that with a pad with 6" of loop...which is a...6.5" pad.

Or are you suggesting the use of a 7 or 8" pad with the 6" backing plate? I just don't see the advantage of the 6" plate...it would be different if putting your base on allowed a quick change between your new 4" and 6" plates, but I still have to unscrew it just like the standard Flex plate...so it would make more sense to me to just use the standard 5.5" Flex plate and your new 4" plate, but as I understand it, I can't buy the 4" plate by itself.

More pad support with the 6" plate with 6.5" pads. Not much more, but there is. I think it will give eevn better control.

I already pre-ordered mine too! I can't wait to get this.

The 4 inch plate is for 4 inch pads and bigger. The 6 inch plate, was shown with a 6.5 inch pad, which has 6 inches of loop.

Congrats on the new product guys!

It's ideal to have the new 6" plate for 6.5" pads, but why not 3.5" plate for 4" pads?

For ages everyone is saying that pad needs to be bigger then the plate (in order to prevent the plate hitting paint and causing the damage) ... all of the sudden same size plate/pad combo is ok?!

Am I missing something here?!?

With the design on the machine being as long as it is, we decided to stop at 4", otherwise there is a chance it may be to small to work.

I've got this by my question is what pads do you recommend to be used with 4" BP?!?


Obviously 4" pads are not big enough to be safe.



5.5" pads are too bid for 4" pads



.. let alone 6", 6.5" and 7" BP's.


Are you about to release 4.5" or 5" pads to go with this 4" BP, or otherwise I don't see any existing pad that can be safely used with the 4" pad.


I thank you for your answer Eric.
