Griot’s Garage 3” Vented Orbital Backing Plate
Quality buffing requires a quality backing plate!

Constructed of durable and flexible materials, the Griot’s Garage 3” Vented Orbital Backing Plate allows you to use 3-inch pads without fear of backing plate failure. The ventilation holes in the Griot’s Garage 3” Vented Orbital Backing Plate prevent heat from building up during buffing by improving the air flow to the back of your pad.

Great little backing plate to use on my Dewalt drill.

Great little backing plate to use on my Dewalt drill. Perfect for cleaning and waxing sinks, dryers and washing machines. Oh, and for those smaller areas on my truck.

Works as expected.

I have been using this for about a year now. Great way to get into those smaller areas without buying a separate polisher.

A Necessary Upgrade
September 4, 2020
Purchased the Orbital Backing Plate as a necessary upgrade to the plate that came with the original unit. The original pad separated from its threaded holder after a short usage time. This was due to the foam plate only being "fused" to its metal counterpart. This new plate is not only a 1-piece version to correct that issue it is also vented to keep heat and friction down to a minimum.
One-piece constructed and vented
