Q: Will switching to a 5" platen throw off the balance of my 6" Mirka sander?
No, the retrofit platen matches the 130g weight and mounting system of the standard 6" platen, so the sander stays balanced when you switch to 5" discs.
08K1113 - 5" Retrofit Platen for Mirka 6" Sanders
Used in place of the platen supplied with all 6" PROS and DEROS sanders, this 5" diameter platen has the identical weight (130g) and mounting system as the standard-size platen, letting you use 5" discs on a 6" Mirka sander for precise work without throwing off its balance.
Like the supplied platen, it helps maintain even contact on flat or contoured surfaces and permits good airflow behind the sanding disc.
