So who's fault is it? You expect the factories to produce a premium high quality product for the cheap price that American companies are paying them?
Companies set a certain price point for the product that they sell. Then "You get what you pay for" goes down the whole chain (including QA) all the way to the raw material suppliers, right?

The weight isn't supposed to be changed for anything smaller, you should be good to go. I have mine ready to run with a 2 7/8 backing plate and 3" pads. I'll test it out this weekend. I believe someone else here did swap it out.

Up date on my HF DA with loose shaft, they replaced it with out any question . Only needed my receipt.

Adding additional grease will cause the unit to run cooler and quieter.

Just got the email with coupons. The polisher is on sale again for 54.99.

You can use it just fine out of the box. Re-greasing will make it a little quieter and maybe run a little cooler. Its good to go just as it comes to you.

Not sure if yoru trying to be funny or not.

@ Mikesal57 Works great out of box as stated by others. all mods noted on page 46 and maybe a few b4 that. also pictures on how to add a longer cord to it in a listed link. or look for HF cord upgrade by me.

as long as you ditch the original backing plate, you should be G2G!
