    Bakcing plate question Rupes 15 MKII

    Can somebody in the know please tell me if the 2nd Gen Rupes with a 15mm throw comes standard(?) with a 5" or 6" backing plate? Or both. I would prefer 5" since i have heavily invested in 5" and 5.5" pads. I've been searching high and low on the Internet to know avail. If you do know the answer I wouldn't mind a product link. Thanks!

    15 comes with 5 inch backing
    21 comes with 6 inch but you can purchase 5 inch and put it on the 21

    Re: Bakcing plate question Rupes 15 MKII

    I was looking for the same info last week. I just got my 15 MKII hd with 5 ''. I've since ordered their pads & cream products. I've got a lot of odd ball foam pads & some don't play well with the MKII. I did read where the hexlogic & black optics(micro fiber) pads work well with the MKII. machine is still new to me so there will be a lot of trial & error.
