    Can a 2 7/8" backer be used with the 7424?

    Would like to know if the 2 7/8 " backing plate can be used with the Porter Cable 7424?Mainly for the purpose of using 3" unigrit sanding disks on headlights.

    While I've never tried it personally, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work.... They've obviously manufactured it for use on this style of machine so give it a try and tell us your thoughts.....

    You know Chad, after replying to this I was contemplating the Griot's 3" unit but buying this makes a lot more sense....

    I was confused because it says "Use this backing plate with your Griot's Garage Professional Random Orbital 3 Inch Polisher."
