Rupes 996.001 2-inch Nano Velcro Backing Plate
Keep your polishing setup working at its best with the genuine Rupes Nano 2-inch Velcro Backing Plate (Part # 996.001). Designed to replace your worn or damaged backing plate, this authentic factory component fits HR81M & HR81ML iBrid Nano polishers perfectly.
Built from lightweight yet rugged plastic with a hook-face Velcro surface, it secures your 50 mm foam or wool pads firmly for safe, slip-free polish work. The M8-1.25 male thread ensures a snug fit to the spindle. At just 8 g, it won’t throw off balance or fatigue during use.
For best results:
-
Always match the backing plate size to your pads (use 2-inch pads here).
-
Clean the Velcro face regularly to maintain firm adhesion.
-
Avoid excessive torque or dropping the plate — the plastic can show damage under abuse.
If your current backing plate is worn, slipped, or simply past its best, this replacement gets you back in action — delivering consistent polishing, grip and control.
