I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but if you ordered the Makita from the US that backing plate you just ordered won't fit. The UK rotaries take the M14 thread, the US machines use a 5/8" thread. The only way to make it fit is to do what Nica did and make or get that adapter he has, unless Ben would refund you.

I was just getting ready to post the same thing. You will need the 5/8" to M14 adapter to make it work. You could check with a machine shop in your area and someone there should easily be able to do it.

Yeah I know.... It's on my list, but i gotta get things I need and not want right now. When you detail for a living, there isn't always lot of play money to throw around!

Plus I don't use alot of Nuba waxes anyhow... but that stuff is definately on my list

Oh yeah, thanks for the warning about the tape, I usually keep a couple rolls around, but haven't had any in a while, need to go pick some up
