GG6 backing plate

[Parslina]

Hello,
I am thinking if I can transform my GG6'' to 3'' by buying an 3 inch backing plate? Also maybe someone can help me figuring out what kind of backing plate it has.
Thanks in advance.

Griot's makes this 3" backing plate for the GG6 with the correct weight and balance for the machine. Here is the link Griots Garage 3 inch HD Backing Plate

this GG HD 3" DA backing plate was designed to work with the GG6, although it will work on any traditional pc-style DA...

When I used mine as a 3" machine, I purchased the following:

D.A Adapter 5/8" X 11

Buff and Shine Rotary Backing Plate Extension

And a 3" backing plate. The adapter and extension gave me ample clearance from the machine and allowed me to work in tighter spaces and be able to see better what was going on. But honestly, once I purchased my Rupes Mini; I never looked back.

I would also get Rupes Mini but decided to give it some time.

if you use a DA adapter on the DA, use with extreme caution. IME, they can come loose and you can only imagine what can happen if it goes flying off and hit something...
