Weighted Plates

DRIVE PLATES

17” & 20” DRIVE PLATES AVAILABLE

Manufactured using a universal clutch plate, tall riser, and aircraft grade bolts. Precision CNC water jet cut special steel plate for increased flatness and balance of your rotary machine.

  • Attaches to 175 RPM and 1.5 horsepower rotary floor machine.
  • Powder coated for durability and long-lasting finish.
  • Industrial grade Velcro for extra strength to hold pads in place. (Use of a small spatula or putty knife to separate the diamonds and pads from the Velcro is the recommended way to remove them.)


Our weighted drive plates turn almost any 1 ½ hp floor buffer into an efficient stone honing and polishing tool. Rather than using top weights, the bottom weight of the drive plates improves performance and efficiency by acting as a heavy flywheel. This means your honing is flatter, faster and more consistent, and your machine doesn’t work as hard due to the centrifugal force of the heavy steel plate.
