I have a PC 7336 with both the PC 6" adhesive backing pad and PC 5"/5-hole hook and loop backing pad (yes, I also use it as a sander!) and am wondering if that 5" pad is going to be fine for use with buffing pads too. I've read that the backings for buffing pads tend to be a softer, more compliant material than the backers designed for sanding. Is this true... and is anyone using a sanding backing pad for buffing?
From what I can tell it shouldn't make a huge difference because of the thickness of the buffing foam itself, but I could be wrong.
