Um, I'm not 100% sure, but it's either a 7 or 7.5" backing plate and it fits on the wool pads that comes with the Makita. This is for the bundle with the bag.
the pad that comes with the 9227 is non flexible; its not made out of plastic. i was wondering if that made much of a difference in the end results. i tried it last night and it didn't but then again it was one of my few experiences with the rotary and i was wondering why you guys who use the rotary full time will often switch to one of the mentioned soft backing plates. again, any major differences to converting to a different backing plate than comes with the 9227 ?
