    Chris thanks for the info. Before I place the order I will look at this thread again to make sure I have the proper pads and backing plates!

    I have been looking into the backing plates and VELCRO is the brand correct? the 4.7/8 backing plate is what they call the 5 inch plate right? Just want to make sure before I order so I dont get the wrong thing. LC-43-125DA Dual Action 5 Inch Hook & Loop Flexible Backing Plate
    Use this plate with 5.5 inch or 6.5 inch pads. The plate is large enough to stabilize the pad, but small enough to provide an adequate buffer zone between the edge of the foam and the edge of the plate. The 5 inch backing plate is ideal for the Porter Cable 7424. Use any of our Low Profile 5.5 inch pads with this plate.

    LC-43-085DA Dual Action 3.5 Inch Flexible Backing Plate
    A smaller version of our 5 and 6 inch plates, this 3.5 inch backing plate is designed for our Spot Buffs 4 inch pads. The 3.5 inch plate has a 5/16” threaded post that screws directly into the Porter Cable 7424. Use any of the Spot Buffs pads, Lake Country 4 inch pads, or Cyclo 4 inch pads to correct small areas of paint or to polish particular spots.

    Those 2 plates to work with the recommended pad sizes? Basically I am asking if these plates are the kind you guys are running.

    You'll be good with those two backing plates.
