Hi Bill,
Have you reached out to anyone in our customer service or has anyone reached out to you yet?

[Bill D]

Nope I haven’t. The only time I did was the time when I called and wound up buying a plate.

Bill,

Going back and reading your post, do you still have the GG6?

[Rod Kraft]

Rod,

So is spd 5&6 on the new machines dangerous for pad/backing plate safety?

[Rod Kraft]

Hi 2wookies,

We designed all of our machines/backing plates to handle all speed ranges. Setting the proper speed to maintain pad rotation/orbit is critical depending on what type of work is being done. In the situation with the backing plate failure, it seems the backing plate was defective and will be warrantied. I rarely run my machines past speed 4, 4.5. Hope this helps.
