What size cutting and polishing pads are required for this 6" unit..... 5.5" or 6.5"? (Or is there a 6")

For the default backing plate. You want to use 6.5 inch buffing pads. You also want to keep 3 types of pads.. 1 light cutting pad, 2 polishing pads, and 2 finishing pads. Personally I use a 5 inch backing plate with 5.5 inch pads.

I use the 6" pads that are made by the same company, (Griot's Garage). Amazon sells these as well. Just do a search for "griots garage 6" pads".

There are 6" out there that work but going .5" over is wise as it reduces ur chances of marring with the backing plate. Don't use smaller than 6" without a smaller backing plate.

Yes, 5". Be advised, This product has very sharp edges and there is no way to dull them. I returned it. Suggest you keep looking.

I used them with the B&D; 6" and it is a perfect snug fit. Since you can set them up with Velcro I guess you could use them with a 5" and have a nice soft edge to work with.

I can't tell what the question really is. Patent numbers probably will not answer this person's needs. If it were me I would order the correct sized brushes from Koblenz (i.e. thru Amazon). I purchased a koblenz polisher from Amazon last year. It has the same size brushes, pads ,etc. as a polisher I owned 20 years ago and attached the same way. If it doesn't fit/work return to Amazon.

Dennis, If you have a 6" sander, these sanding disks will probably not cover your entire hooked pad. That would damage the hook area on the exposed portion of the pad. I would guess that these will not work. D. Stockwell

The cut out size appears to be 6-1/8" x 9-9/16". Not sure how much trim there is, but it isn't much. Maybe about 1/4". Feb 7, 2014 by A. Calabrese

I would suggest at least 4-1/2" or larger in diameter. For polishing I use a least a 7"-9" polisher that is variable speed and runs at the right speed for the material you are polishing. Grinders are too fast for polishing. Some materials require a higher speed but grinders are way too fast for polishing.

Hi - I don't have a 6" installed but I was going to do it in the future for my table saw. I think it can only help. The double 4" adapter comes off the unit and a 6" fitting is behind it. My unit has a 5" hose from the blower to the filter. Good Luck.

Inside diameter is exactly 6 inches. Mounts perfectly flush if you use a 6" hole saw

I purchesed the 6" backing plate and the set of 6.5" pads. This combo works just fine and the Chemical Guy's pads do a nice job.

6" is average. If you had an existing plate you will need the 6" to cover the dis colored area. I bought a drain too on amazon

The pad is 5-1/2" in diameter, the thin fuzzy pad material used to attach the pad to the buffer is 5". Also, the pad is 3/4" thick. I have used these pads in the past and they do a great job. Be aware that each color corresponds to the "roughness" of the pad and it's rate of removal of whatever you're buffing. Use the wrong combination of pad, cutting compound and polishing speed can and will cut through the clear coat and start taking off paint.

Howard, Compare the dimensions of the pads. If yours is larger than the potential replacement, I wouldn't buy it. If they are close with the new one slightly larger, you can probably trim the excess. It's matching the holes that matters, but it shouldn't be a big concern because you can probably punch holes through the thin metal plate to match yours. To me, it's worth a shot. Al

I don't know. Mine is labeled professional model but has no other designation. Its rectangular foot is 6X12 inches. These pads are 6X16 inches. Hope these dimensions help.PS I found the book. It's a model 3601A and these pad do not fit.

Parts express web page says 6"3/16 cut out. I cut it on a 45 to match the closer to the port and then glued it in to seal and support it better. I think it was just under 6" and did the final cut with a rotozip.

I used it with the 4" wet/dry diamond polishing pad 10 piece set which has a 5/8 inch screw on base and Velcro pads. It did a nice job polishing the granite cuts I did. Not sure what pad came with the unit.
