981.321N | Rupes 6" Velcro Backing Plate.

Rupes BigFoot Random Orbital Polishers are robust, well-built machines. Even the factory installed backing plate can last for years. But, accidents do happen. Should the backing plate sustain damage due to an inadvertent dropping of the machine or some other unforseen event, you'll be dead in the water unless you've got a replacement on hand. The Rupes 981.321N is a factory-direct replacement for the following 6" machines:

LHR21ES | LHR21II | LHR21III

This backing plate will also physically mount onto the following 5" machines:

LHR15ES | LHR15II | LHR15III | LHR12E

Note: The 981.321N 6" backing plate is 5 grams heavier than the Rupes 980.027N 5" backing plate (130g vs 125g). Although installing this plate onto machines originally designed for 5-inch plates will enable the use of 6-inch pads & discs, machine vibration & balance may be negatively affected.
