The Symplex® Backing Plate Flex 5" is a flexible Hook & Loop backing plate designed to pair with
6.5" D.A. pads. Its 5" diameter leaves extra buffer space between the pad edge and the plate edge,
helping reduce the chance of accidental scratches during polishing.
Key Features
5" diameter: Compact plate size that’s ideal when using 6.5" pads.
Two thread options: Available in 5/8" and 14 mm (14 mm noted for European machines).
Hook & Loop compatible: Works with all Hook & Loop type pads.
Flexible, molded urethane: Designed to provide flexibility during use.
Made in the USA: Crafted with pride in the USA.
Best Use Cases
Using 6.5" D.A. pads while keeping a safe margin around the backing plate edge.
Hook & Loop pad systems where fast pad changes matter.
How to Use
Select the correct thread: Choose 5/8" or 14 mm based on your machine’s spindle/thread.
Install the backing plate: Thread it onto your polisher securely (do not cross-thread).
Center the pad: Attach a compatible Hook & Loop pad and ensure it is aligned/centered.
Work safely: Keep the pad flat and avoid letting the plate edge contact painted surfaces.
Remove & store: After use, remove the pad, wipe the Hook & Loop surface clean, and store in a dry place.
