While waiting for the TS to answer, I would guess that, as with most polishers, it *should* come with the OEM 6"/180mm size backing plate (except for the newer Flexes' polishers). Not to worry though, standard thread size *should* either be M16 or M14 and you can find plenty of sources for backing plates of various sizes locally. I've even seen quite a few local auto refinishing suppliers' places selling them (although not branded ones).

Compatible....yes. Suitable....not so much as the 2.0 size is a bit on the large side. Best is if you can find the 5.5" or 5.25" pad by Lake Country or others.

To me, Large size pads only good for flat large areas..... smile_tongue.gif

Depends on the user. Some uses 8" for large flat panel, 5 & 6 for smaller and curve areas, the smallest for hard to reach and very small areas and so on.....
I do ROB most of the time so mine are 5.25..... smile_thumbup.gif
