I bit the bullet.. I just bought a G21

Yes I'm using both washers.. I've watched Raskys' youtube vid and as soon as I saw the part where he spun his backing plate I was like "whoa mine doesn't spin like that"
I was hoping someone in the comments would ask him about that and I'm glad you did.. Where you ever able to get it to free spin more than a couple of seconds? Mine free spins for about 3 seconds tops.

FWIW my prototype tool never came with a washer and having always used one in my Rupes the first thing I did when I got it was make my own washer. I was disappointed to see how thin the supplied washers were after the release and to see people not getting 100% clearance on some tools. Best option is to make your own if the supplied ones don't give adequate clearance.

My supplied washers provide 100% clearance. 1st I installed 1 and it was enough, but since they provided 2 I figured it couldn't hurt so I installed both of them. There's 100% clearance.

Buy some M8 washers from Home Depot.

Why would I need to buy washers if I'm already getting more than enough clearance??

Sure as hell weren't getting "more than enough" clearance here, even when you used 2 washers. Then all of a sudden you do?? Don't come at me like that, having posted conflicting comments before.

I am getting 100% clearance, I always have as soon as I installed 1 washer, I installed both of them because I figured it couldn't hurt. I'm getting more than enough clearance. The backing plate isn't touching the shroud.

I just took this pic. This is how it's looked since day 1 when I unboxed it and installed the washers. 100% clearance. If anything, it's a bit lobsided, it's looked like that from the start. But it never touches the shroud when spinning.

My bad. From reading that part of the thread I quoted you, I thought you were referring to the lack of spin compared to Raskys was due to clearance issues. Now I see, that's obviously not the issue.
