Can I use the 3 inch window pads on my 6 inch buffer
1256826
I purchased a 3 inch semi flexible backing pad with velcro for mine. I don't think you would want to try this on a 6 inch pad. You need to get a new backing pad. I looked at what type of threaded mount was on my orbital buffer. Then I searched and searched before I found the 3 inch mount I needed. Here is the link.http://www.dexpan.com/back-up-pad-semi-flexible-rubber-backer-granite-polishing-pad-rsb03.aspxWith shipping, it was around $15.00. Worked perfectly for me.

I did it because I bought the 3" one's on accident. You have to arrange them in a weird way but it got the job done. 6" would have been a lot better though.

Maybe, but you will need a thread adapter to accommodate a 3inch backing pad.

Yes, as long as your backer plate is 3" and you control the force of the buffer.

No, I ordered 8" by mistake and returned them for 6". I have installed the 6" and they work great!

Hey Matt, I have this set up and 6" will work fine. That's what I use and it works great! Good luck, Sharon in Pinellas, FL

Works better with a low speed buffer. You can do it by hand but small areas need to be worked.

Measure your old ones. If close to the ones shown then Ok! These pads are great

Why not go to the web site. My gate does not use those pads so ther than the companies web site I would not have a clue.

The pad is 5-1/2" in diameter, the thin fuzzy pad material used to attach the pad to the buffer is 5". Also, the pad is 3/4" thick. I have used these pads in the past and they do a great job. Be aware that each color corresponds to the "roughness" of the pad and it's rate of removal of whatever you're buffing. Use the wrong combination of pad, cutting compound and polishing speed can and will cut through the clear coat and start taking off paint.

Perhaps... 3M Hookit 6 inch soft interface pad #05777 ... sits between between backing pad and finishing disc. Note this is for hook & loop, but I would guess an adhesive equivalent can be had too.

Are you sure you measured right? There are 3 sets of holes for universal fit on the bottom: The first set is for 3 1/4"; the second is for 5 1/2" (the one I needed); and the last set at 6 3/4 ". You should re-measure and see if your holes aren't 3 1/4 " rather then 3 3/8". They are nice firm pads and I would recommend them.

Yes, there are different lengths available. The old and new style would take a slightly different buffer.

The hole through the wall needs to fit the 8-3/8" diameter sleeve so 6 x 6 hole will not work. The housing adjusts to fit walls from 4-1/2" to 9-1/2" thick.

Yes it would work but you would have to get a softer attachment...have you tried those buffers that you can get at Sally's or Walmart, they have 4 sides.

I don't know if they will but if the old brushes on your Hoover are 6inches each they might. They are only $10 that's why I took a chance they would fit my old buffer.

I have this unit & am happy with it - but I have a much wider width window than you. If the minimum required is beyond your opening - that would be it. Even mine fit iin such a way that I couldn't put in the 2 side accordian sides typical for the window unit. I only had about 5 - 6 inches excess in total. You may have to go down to a smaller width unit.

You could probably make some adapters for the 7" spot. They fit my 6.75 spot like they were supposed to. You can always double check with other website recommendations.

width of the unit is 5" with anything 5 1/2" or above this will workyes your 6" opening will work

Yes the hole goes all the way through and it's about 3/4" wide. The white tube goes in the hole in the pad to center it on the buffer
