True tight-area sanding & polishing just became a reality.

The Mirka 32mm Vinyl-Faced Backing Plate is a must have for tight-area sanding & polishing tasks. When mounted to compact rotary or random orbital machines, these plates eliminate much of the difficulty and stress commonly associated with critical tight-area work. 

Also available with a Velcro Face here.

These backing plates feature 1/4-20 female plastic threads.
Backing plates with re-sized threads can be found here.

In most cases, you will need an adaptor or extension to install this plate onto your machine. We offer adaptors and extensions here.

These backing plates feature an exact diameter of 29mm.
They were originally designed for use with 32mm diameter sanding rosettes.
PSA (peel and stick) Sanding Rosettes can be found here.

Notes:
1. To avoid damaging the threads, do not overtighten or repeatedly install/reinstall the backing plate.

2. To date, there have been no reports of thread failures on any of the plates that I've sold.

Occasionally, BigFoot® needs a new shoe.

The Rupes LHR75 BigFoot 3" Air-Powered Mini Random Orbital Polisher is one wicked machine.  Its massive 15mm ø orbit and 11,000 RPM top-speed can stress the backing plate's Velcro® hooks, causing them to break.

Technique, overall use, and the type of work being accomplished can also impact the life of the plate. Should you accidentally drop the machine (and the plate is impacted in the fall), its thin metal mounting pad can bend, causing the plate to wobble something fierce.

Designed for Abranet® & Autonet™ discs, but works well with all hook & loop systems.

The Mirka 913GV 3" Velcro Backing Plate is a small and lightweight. The flared edge of the plate is soft and pliable, so it works well on curved or complex surfaces. It is a direct replacement plate for the following Mirka machines: MR-3 | MR-30 | MR-350

The face of this plate is relatively flexible. When used on curved surfaces, its edge conforms with ease.  Its micro-hook Velcro is short, grabby, and long lasting.  Should the side of the plate happen to contact a delicate object, you'll be relieved to know that it is soft to the touch. Six vacuum holes ensure efficient vacuuming of the sanding surface. A non-vacuum version of this plate is also available: 913G

The face of the plate is stiff, yet when used on curved surfaces its edge conforms to some degree.  Its micro-hook Velcro is short, grabby, and long lasting.  Should the side of the plate happen to contact a delicate object, you'll be relieved to know that it is soft to the touch.

Micro-hook Velcro is compatible with all hook & loop systems.

The Mirka 103GG 3-1/2" Velcro Backing Plate measures in at an actual 3-3/8" diameter, making it the same exact diameter as the ever-popular DMC3 / DMF3 Meguiar's 3" DA Microfiber Discs. By delivering full support to the outer edge of the microfiber disc, cutting power can increase immensely. It can also help to create a more refined finish versus using the Meguiar's recommended S3BP backing plate. By fully supporting the microfiber, random rotation of the plate runs at maximum potential.


Mirka's backing plates are manufactured using a top quality molded polymer construction. This means that the rigid inner  hub, yellow foam center, and Velcro face are molded together (not glued). Each plate is balanced to eliminate vibration, so you can work comfortably. The medium density polyurethane foam is somewhat firm, but will give a small degree due to its flared edge.

BigFoot's powerful dance moves can be tough on shoes.

The Rupes® BigFoot series of 5" Random Orbital Polishers are impressive performers. They deliver a 12 to 15mm diameter orbit, and can generate massive momentum. Some models of the LHR15 top out at 5,300 orbits per minute (OPM), while the LHR12E Duetto extends to 5,500 OPM! A stressful situation, for any backing plate.

After extended use, the factory installed backing plate can degrade.
An accidental dropping of the machine can bend or break the plate.

You'll be dead in the water unless you've got a replacement on hand.
This is a factory-direct replacement Velcro backing plate.

 10-10-2016 Note:  DISCONTINUED.
Please consider using the updated DBP6 instead.

Although this plate was painstakingly designed to optimize the performance of Meguiar's Unigrit™ Sanding and Foam Finishing Discs, it is an outstanding choice for use with any sanding disc or buffing pad.

The face and flared edge of this plate is soft and pliable. Consequently, it ranks among the best available for sanding curved or complex surfaces. If you need a little help keeping the disc level to the surface while you sand, its built-in pliability can help better distribute uneven applied pressure.

The micro hook attachment material is ideal for use with sanding discs because the hooks will not protrude beyond the loop backing of most discs (a common cause of pigtail scratches when soft backed sanding discs are used).

Whereas most D/A backing plates use three or four mounting studs to attach the mounting stud to the plate, this one features six, so the S6BP can handle rigorous, long-term use.

This is a plate chock full of features, making it one of our most popular sellers.

This backing plate was originally introduced as an integral part of the Meguiar's So1o™ One Liquid System, but it performs incredibly well when paired with the majority of foam or wool buffing pads available today.

It looks stealth, but you'll surely notice the quality.

Meguiar's has made this model of backing plate for many years, but this is an all-new design. Durability is top notch, thanks to its sturdy one-piece molded construction.

As before, it features a pad alignment plug (located at the center of the face), making it a snap to align buffing pads that utilize a centering hole.

The face of the plate is firm with a minute amount of cushioning, virtually guaranteeing a smooth feel while polishing.

The outer edge has been finessed to allow increased contourability of the pad when used on complex surfaces, or for those times when the pad must be tilted on edge for targeted buffing.
