You could easily get away with usin You could easily get away with using the 8 inch pad as well it just won't have the support of the machine.

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 just measured this with a dial caliper, the Template Guide measures 2.435" on the shoulder and 2.667" on the outer rim, a clean snug fit on both our old Makita 3621 Routers and our newer RP0900 Routers, another respondent reported nearly identical dimensions, so unless your dimension is misprinted, this will not fit your machine. This Plate also fit the old Makita 3612 Router, which had the same recess in the baseplate to receive it. I have not seen a Makita Router with a threaded receiver. We use either Porter-Cable or Templaco Bushings with this plate, and have had no problem with either brand, they both fit this adapter well.

I haven't installed mine as yet, so I measured the back side at 4.442 inches diameter. I would use a 4-7/16 diameter hole saw. A 4-1/2 inch will work but it will come pretty close to interfering with mount holes which may not be a problem because this thing is really light weight and won't need much retention, large washers on the back side would be fine.Hope this helps.

I bought a 5' x 4' pad which was just right for the base. The workout area is about another 1' around the pad.

If you purchase it through the diamondback website they recommend a 84 x 36 x 0.25 mat as an accessory (for $55). You can get one on Amazon with those exact dimensions for $25

Its advertised as a 7 inch buffer but since there is no guard that limits what size you can use you have a broad range of size to chose from. The arbor (threaded portion that holds the backing pad to the buffer) is a standard thread and size so almost any backing pad should fit. It also comes with a lock nut to hold backing pads that are not threaded onto the arbor. The biggest thing is dont skimp on the backing pad. Crappy backing pads can come apart when in use causing injury or damage to whatever your working on. Backing pads that dont hold the pad securely can slip and also leave a rubber skid mark and/or scratches on your work as well. The backing pad that comes with the buffer is one of the types that can slip and scar your work. GET RID OF IT! Other reviewers have had problems with the included backing pad as well. I suggest Meguiar's Self-Centering 8-Inch Rotary Buffer Backing Plate. Its sold on Amazon for $20 and has served me well for numerous jobs with this buffer. It has a velcro attachment for any front pad you want and holds it securely. The material you chose for the front pad will vary with whatever you are doing.

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.

Are you sure you measured right? There are 3 sets of holes for universal fit on the bottom: The first set is for 3 1/4"; the second is for 5 1/2" (the one I needed); and the last set at 6 3/4 ". You should re-measure and see if your holes aren't 3 1/4 " rather then 3 3/8". They are nice firm pads and I would recommend them.

Yeah forget about the wool pad that it came with. Get a velcro backing pad that screws on the threaded post of the buffer for the size pads you plan to use.

Measure your old ones. If close to the ones shown then Ok! These pads are great

Yes, works great on my 7" Makita 9227CX3 when used with the required adapter shaft. Great product. It is 2-sided and can be run through the gentle cycle of a washing machine (use Woolite or similar) and it's ready for more work.
