So I am going to be getting the Makita 9227c in a few days, but not sure what backing plate, etc... to use.



I currently have a PC 7424 with LOADS of 5.5inch pads and 5.5inchbacking plates. Also a few 6.5inch orange pads and 6.5inch PFW pads.



Not sure what backing plate the Makita comes with from the factory, but what size do you guys recommend for a standard backing plate / pad size?



I need to order some more foam and wool pads, but I'd like to get some opinions from you guys as to what I should get...



Thanks!!

i just picked one up myself..i believe it comes with a 7inch backing plate...what pads should i get for it or should i get smaller backing plate? (sorry newbie here :soscared: )



Thanks!
 
Depends on what type of polishing you guys are after. I have BP from 7" down to 4" and pads of all sizes in between because I have uses for all of them. I love my edge2000 system better than any BP but the smaller pads aren't made for it just yet so I keep the backing plates around for now. But there is no magical 1 size fits all scenerio here. You have to use what your project calls for.

You do know that there are Edge 4" pads now?
