Has anyone used this velcro backing pad with a Porter Cable 7424 XP orital polisher? I see some confusion regarding what these pads actually fit.

I don't know the exact model number of my porter cable orbital polisher but it fit mine fine. there is a tool that came with my polisher that is necessary to tighten the polisher to the pad because the gap between the polisher and pad is tight. it's like a really flat open end wrench.-Z

I did not use this with the Porter Cable unit you are asking about, however, I have used it with a Snap-On pneumatic orbital sanding unit. I used it for some woodworking I was doing that had rounded surfaces. I was concerned because the price was so low, but it has worked great for my use so far which amounts to a couple hours total sanding time. It tightened down fine and held the sanding discs in place with no problems. I see that the diameter and thread sizes are the same for your P-C unit and the pad, so you should have not problem with them mating up. Good luck! Dennis

I use this pad with an ingersoll rand da but I put my screw pitch gauge on the threads and they are in fact a 5/16" 24 threads per inch , which is what the 7424 xl calls for. I use this to polish glass with cerium oxide with wool pads. Steve

yes. they do on my generic rotary polisher. one word of advice. the hook part of the hook & loop on the backing plate is industrial strength. it pulled the loop part oof of one of my pads

I purchased a 3 inch semi flexible backing pad with velcro for mine. I don't think you would want to try this on a 6 inch pad. You need to get a new backing pad. I looked at what type of threaded mount was on my orbital buffer. Then I searched and searched before I found the 3 inch mount I needed. Here is the link.http://www.dexpan.com/back-up-pad-semi-flexible-rubber-backer-granite-polishing-pad-rsb03.aspxWith shipping, it was around $15.00. Worked perfectly for me.

My apologies but I really cannot answer your question. I am just using it with the buffer pads made for it so altering it to use velcro sanding pads would be uncertain. Sorry I wasn't more help.

This polisher comes with a 6 inch backing plate. A 6.5 inch buffing pad will work fine. Just make sure the backing plate is 1/2 inch smaller then the buffing pad otherwise you will destroy your pads.

I can't tell you for sure. I don't use the foam pads on my Makita. I do use them on my Porter Cable though. 5" . I'm guessing you can use any size as long as you have the correct size backer.

I can't say if it fits the DeWalt brand as I purchesed it for the Porter Cable sander that I own. The screw patterns that are predrilled on the pad might be for a Porter Cable only. You might want to try a tool supply store in your area if you can't find it on the amazon web site,they usually have most brands of tool parts that I have ever needed.

I bought a counter weight and when I got my Porter Cable buffer, it had a counter weight on it. I felt like a dummy but my son had done the same thing because we looked at the bottom of the page and it showed "items frequently bought together". The counter balance does not have any markings on it in regards to the size. I use Meguiars 6 inch pads and they work perfectly. I hope this is helpful.

Dean, Using M105 and M205 with the Porter Cable 7424XP and Country pads is a great combination. Go to Youtube and search for junkman2000 AJ is a great teacher and he will guide you to understanding paint correction, setting up your DA polisher, and using proper technique. Find his videos "How To for Novices to Machine Polishing" this is a 5 part series. You'll want to watch all his videos where he demonstrates how to properly wash a car to prevent paint damage and how to clay bar. That is where I learned to polish the right way. Andy

Easy part first: Yes, this model is a hook surface. Hard part: If your polisher has its anchor above the surface of the pad, i.e., you can see a screw holding it onto your spindle, then NO, it will not fit. This item is designed for orbital action that uses a "soft center", i.e., the cushioned material covers the entire pad surface. If this describes yours, it attaches underneath the dust skirt and requires a very thin-profile wrench (which should have come with your polisher.) Hope that helps. . .

don't know what the bona mop handle looks like. However, if it is the Velcro type, I expect the polishing pad will fit.

If you are asking about the foam or micro fiber bonnets that are used, then yes. 5-6" fit perfect. If you are referring to the foam base attached to the buffer, then I cannot help because I just buy a new buffer by then.. If you are worried about wearing that out, you might want to upgrade to one of the heavy duty dual action buffers such as the Meguiar's dual action variable speed Polisher (or non-dual action if you feel frisky), the pads are cheap and the buffer/polisher will last longer. Good luck!

The 8 inch pad fits my 6 inch polisher and works perfectly. It covers more surface area . I prefer the larger pads and will be buying more of those as the quality is excellent and withstands multiple washing and reusing.

Yeah.......it has a threaded metal grommet in the center to fit common polishers..........I use a Makita

It depends on your buffer. If it fits with none that is fine. Just so long as the back of the pad is not rubbing the tool.

I have very successfully used this Makita backing pad with a number of 7 inch polishing pads I obtained via the internet from from Regent Stone Products. The pads are quite inexpensive and include Hogs Hair, Steel Wool, and varying consistencies of Nylon. I used them for cleaning and polishing a marble shower and marble bathroom floor. I Also used to clean and polish about 600 square feet of limestone flooring and do this about every two years. They work well with the Makita polisher.

It should work if the 3inch pad attachment can be screwed into the polisher.
