3" Plate on GG 6"?

[Rsurfer]

Question for the board, and I have read some people doing this...

Putting the 5/8" Rotary Adapter: Rotary Backing Plate Extension on and rolling with that.

Can I get an "Amen" from a Pro here....OR "don't do that you doofus". Either will be very helpful

ps. I plan on never going above speed "3" with this combination.

Thanks in advance

Hey Doofus, LOL..the 5/8" rotary adapter will not fit your GG6 or any DA for that matter.

Not unless they are transsexual.

I have a 3 1/2" backing plate for my GG6 and it works great with 3 1/2 to 4" pads. Vibration isn't a problem.

Unless ofcourse you use this adapter: D.A Adapter 5/8" X 11

Thanks for all the suggestions! The reason I'm considering selling the GG3 is lack of power. I've tried using it a handful of times on the A frame and front fender of my Mustang and there is not enough power behind it. It would get more use of it had the power. I did like it on the headlights though!

I'll have to do some thinking and consider all of the suggestions.

Thanks again everyone!

Instead of getting a GG6 , get a PCXP instead. The counter weight housing is much smaller so you can view the pad much better. The pcxp also has more than enough power to rotate the pads even with heavy pressure.

I have both 3in and 3.5in backing plate but the 3in backing plate is more versatile because it has more pad options.

- meguiars 3in mf
- carpro flash pads
- carpro rayon glass pad
- meguiars/3m sanding disk
- and many other 3in pads

for larger areas , i use pads with 3in backing material with 4in foam face.

- rupes 4in pads
-buff and shine 4in hex face pads

with the 3in bp you can use 3in and 4in pads without the need to swap bp.

The first 9 words of the thread says he already has a GG 6. Why start over?

Recon was looking at an extension not a adapter.

Correct. Already have a GG6. Selling the GG3. Question was can I use a 3" plate on my GG6. Not looking for another machine.

Oh , I thought you're selling gg3 to get another machine.
Yes the 3in should be fine on the gg6.
