MT 300 vs GG 6"

[Hoytman]

Interesting, any video to show this?

Ask and you shall receive.

Just to sweeten the pot on this debate over whether the G110v2 is powerful or not, I shot a deliberately heavy-handed demonstration clip to show how much force the machine can withstand and still keep rotating:

It will stall, just like any free spinning DA when you tilt on edge and apply pressure. It does keep rotation very well when held flat though.


I like the light weight and design of the MT300 over the GG6, but the GG6 is just as capable at half the price. I don't think you can go wrong with ether tool and many have already mentioned the backing plate not being a issue. I would however not use the standard Griot's GG6 plate with Megs MF pads.

Thanks Rasky for weighing in. Yes, forgot to mention that I'll be using the 5" BP in either case.


As of yet, nobody has really touched on the smaller BP/Pad dilemma.

I actually use Mirka 3" backing plates for Megs 3" MF pads and all kinds of various foam pads. No issues to date.

IMO, the only thing the GG6 has going for it over the MT300 is its warranty.

With the Meguiar's MT300, it has a much nicer layout to the tool, better ergonomics and user friendliness, plunger style trigger rather than just the typical "ON OFF" switch, trigger lock, soft start, etc.

If I were to pick up another standard 8mm throw DA, I wouldn't hesitate to buy this machine.

On what machine?

On what machine?

G110v2 and GG6 2nd and 3rd gen. I have not tried a 3" plate on the MT300 yet.

Thank You Mike.

Would Megs 3" BP/LC flat pads or LC 2 7/8 BP and pads work with the MT 300 or not a good idea?

Interesting. Is it wise to use and adapter/extension for it? If so, is it this...

Double-Sided Pad Rotary Adapter,

Or is that specifically for rotary use?

Thanks again!

Im sure it would work although with such a large machine I would rather pick up a smaller machine for smaller pads.

Think about the amount of leverage you would have if this machine had a 3" plate/pad on it.

That's for rotary.

The 3" plates should mount right up just like the 5" and 6".
