Supa BEAST and CBEAST Backing Plate Swap by Mike Phillips

[Mike Phillips]

Mike or anyone who can verify for sure,

1 Do the backing plates come with the Allen style bolts? The old plate on my finisher has torx. I’d prefer the Allen style.(the CBeast comes with the updated BP and Allen bolts) I want to update my corded finisher.

2 Are both size backing plates in stock at AG the newer updated versions with the locking tabs?


Thank you

Jim

I'll be into the office after lunch to shoot the Live Broadcast video with Yancy and can check.

Sorry, I forgot to walk out and look at the shelves....


BUT - See what Sizzle Chet posted here just yesterday, April 14th, 2020

3401 replacement backing plate - in stock soon?

Received my plates today! Yeah!

Or call Customer Care, I'm sure they can find the answer.

From time to time I see someone ask,

1: Does the felt ring on the Supa BEAST need to be lubricated?

2: Will the BEAST backing plate fit on the Supa BEAST or the CBEAST?

The answer is no to both questions. The Supa BEAST and the CBEAST use a totally different design that enables the tool to run,

Cooler
Smoother
Quieter
And weigh less


See my article from 2011 on this topic as you can see by the pictures, the innards in the BEAST look nothing like the innards of the Supa BEAST or the CBEAST.

I wish I had gotten one of these instead of my G9, way outta my price range though (literally 3x the price of a G9 up here )
