Hi,
Please forgive me and correct me if this is not posted in the correct section.
I am trying to determine if there is an issue with my machine.
I have noticed that if I rotate the backing plate by hand it wobbles slightly.
For example if I close one eye and cast my eye along the back of the plate as I rotate it with my finger I can see it wobbles, the distance between the back of the plate and the machine at one point throughout the rotation is closer than the rest of the rotation (I would say a few mm).
I would like to know if this is considered 1)normal 2)acceptable by Meguiar's standards?
Should I as I currently do expect it to run true with out any visual sign of wobble?
If this is normal what is the allowable tolerance?
I bought another backing plate to check if that made a difference and it appears the same to me so I'm ruling out the backing plate as the issue here.
I was told by the supplier it shouldn't matter as long as it has a pad on which seems unhelpful as I wouldn't be using it without a pad now would I?
I am mostly concerned because I feel even if the correct pressure is applied, the backing plate as it rotates will be applying a few mm more pressure to the surface randomly.
Thank you
