Are you going to be running a 5 inch bp or the 6 that comes with the 21? If the 6 you obviously need to stick with 6-6.5 inch pads. I run a rupes 15 with the 5 inch bp and run almost exclusive 6 inch pads. I use primarily optimum MF, b&s MF, and LC CCS foam.

Its screwy. The diameter of the Rupes pads is a bit weird because they taper bigger at the face by 1".

Think of it this way, the 15 comes with a 5" BP and the 21 a 6" BP. So, you can use any pad size you normally would use with those plates.

6.5 is ideal for 21. It will be almost perfect fit, kind of...
