    Hey, GREAT TIMING on this write-up for me!
    I saw the introductory announcement but still have not seen one in person.

    This was a SUPER write-up, Tim!

    Anybody that has done a large write-up knows how much effort this took.
    This one is going to get a lot of views.

    Excellent review Tim!

    From this review I have a much better understanding of all the differences between the various backing plates!

    Very informative review, Tim, especially for a person like me who knows nothing about backing plates. Thanks!

    Awesome write up Tim - thanks for putting in the effort.

    So many people look at the backing plate as nothing more than the means for attaching the pad to the machine. There really is a lot more to it than that and you've done an excellent job of explaining the finer points of the various backing plates.

    Tim,
    Any issues with the rivets and the center washer overheating after applying pressure on the g110? Similar to this. I know the 3m uses the same/similar make up and with 3m owning megs, I wanted to know just how different they BPs were before purchasing.

    Morning,

    I have never had a backing plate do what is shown in the picture. That picture tells me that the person definitely used speed 6 and a LOT of downward pressure. If the defects were that bad that it required that aggressive of buffing from the DA, that tells me that the person was using the wrong tool for the job and should have stepped up to the rotary polisher.
