TR6speed Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I am about to place an order for some more products and also the new Gen5 pads. I have the Porta Cable 7424 (not the XP) and is the Premium 6" Machine Polisher Backing Plate needed for the new pads or will my original backing plate work?

0 Chris@Adams Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Here's the new backing plate. http://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/polishing/adam-s-5-porter-cable-backing-plate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Get the new yellow backing plate for your Porter Cable. The Gen 5, 6" pads are a bit too small for your backing plate and will leave the outside edge sticking out. That wouldn't end well if it touched your paint!

0 Benjammin Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I really like the new 5 inch backing plate, and the 6 inch Gen 5 pads on the Porter Cable! It really does up the correcting power of the machine. So you would need the new 5 inch yellow porter cable backing plate, and the 6 inch Gen 5 pads. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional info, and I will be happy to help!Thanks, Ricky Bobby and Chris@Adams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ricky Bobby Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 For sure use the 6" pads and 5" plate on the PC whether it's original or XP. I have an original 7424 and it does 4" pad duty solely now, since I have another machine doing 6" pad work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
