The Lake Country Dual Action (DA) Backing Plate is a 73mm (2-7/8") molded urethane backing plate for random orbital DA polishers, with a 5/16"-24 thread. It holds 3-inch class hook-and-loop pads for spot correction and tight areas.

Key Features & Benefits

🔹 High Strength Molded Urethane – Lake Country says the urethane helps absorb the heat created while polishing, while staying flexible over the buffing surface.

🔹 Inner Steel Construction – Steel studs around the thread are built to withstand DA machine use.

🔹 Grip Easy Edge – The edge is designed for fast and easy pad changes.

🔹 Industry Standard Thread – Lake Country lists its DA backing plates with a 5/16"-24 thread.

How to Use

Step 1: Check your polisher's spindle thread. This plate uses a 5/16"-24 thread.

Step 2: Unplug the polisher or remove the battery. Remove the old backing plate following your polisher's instructions.

Step 3: Thread the Lake Country plate onto the spindle by hand until it is snug.

Step 4: Center a pad that is at least as large as the plate on the hook-and-loop face, such as a 3.25-inch or 3.5-inch pad.

Step 5: To change pads, use the Grip Easy Edge to peel the pad off, then center the next one.

Pro Tip: Lake Country recommends always using a pad that is at least the size of the backing plate, so the plate edge never touches the paint.

Care

Keep the hook-and-loop face clean of pad fibers and dried compound so pads hold securely and stay centered. Wipe the plate down after each job.

Why We Love It

A 3-inch plate turns your DA into a spot-correction tool for bumpers, pillars, and narrow panels. Lake Country's version adds a heat-absorbing urethane body and steel-reinforced threads built for DA use.
