Rupes Pads

[Methodical]

I need a little help hear to ensure I get the proper sized Rupes pads. I have the 21 on the way, including the 5" plate. They are listed on AG as 6 and 7" pads, however, I reviewed Kevin Brown's page, which has a drawing with the dimensions of the pads. Do I go by the bottom (attaching point) or top (pad face) measurement to determine the correct sized pads?

Pad measurements:

5" pad
bottom is 130mm (5") this attaches to plate
top is 150mm (6")

AG has this pad listed as a 6" pad:
Rupes 150 mm (6 inch) Yellow Polishing Foam Pad

6" pad
bottom is 155mm (6") this attaches to plate.
top is 180mm (7")

AG has this pad listed as a 7" pad:
Rupes 180 mm (7 inch) Yellow Polishing Foam Pad

So, are these 5 and 6" inch pads or 6 and 7" pads?

Thanks

No problems using meg mf or LC pads on my 21, most others have 0 problems also.. just inspect your pads and don't remove polisher from paint while pad is still spinning and Don't put pressure on this machine like other DAs, the rupes will do all the work.

same pad, different numbers, different people selling them.

5 inch pad from Kevin Brown is the same 6 inch pad from AG

The 7 inch pad goes on the Rupes 21 standard backing plate.
The 6 inch pad goes on the Rupes 21 with 5 inch backing plate.
The 6 inch backing plate is 148mm, this will only hold the 7 inch pad (6" from Kevin)

The 5 inch backing plate is 125mm, this will only hold the 6 inch pad (5" from Kevin)

Thanks. I just needed confirmation because I see them listed differently on different web sites.

Here are the 6 inch pads that go on the 5 inch backing plate.
They fit almost perfect on a 5 inch plate.
