All things being equal, the Plus should cut faster because at a given speed the pad is covering more distance than it would be on the normal Pro.

From what I've read on here I think the Pro Plus can take small backing plates, it's just that the larger orbit on such a relatively small pad can make it difficult to use due to increased vibration etc.

What size pad are you using on the current machine? It's worth remembering that smaller pads cut harder on a DA, so if you have localised defect removal to do you might gain extra cut by using a small MF pad?

 

I'm using 5" and 5.5" pads on my das 6pro for cutting

But also have 3" spot pads and plate for small areas

 

as said to you on your previous posts that you need to change your compound:thumb: keep your pro DA so you can use the 3" backing plate, and if you get the plus then that's not really going to make a difference just you will have a bigger throw :buffer: which covers a bigger area which cuts your polishing time down:thumb:

 

You need at least 2 polishers to do a car, perhaps you could also consider a forced rotation polisher such as flex or vertool?

 

I couldn't justify three machines!

Don't use them enough for that.

I will keep my pro and get the plus,hopefully it'll save me some time cutting harder paint.

 

The Pro + is a lot smoother than the Pro to work with. It does take smaller pads but its not very stable.
Somebody is selling the Flex with the LC backing plates on here so you`ll only need 1 machine.
I bought the vertool 12e mini and it was pretty good for bumpers and tight areas.

 

Just ordered the Vertool 21mm DA from cyc

 

good luck with it! be sure to update us with your views on it:thumb:

 

Seeing as you mentioned the paint being tough, I'd step up the compounds to something like Menz FG400, and an Orange Hex Pad/Green or Yellow Rupes pad, and use that with your DAS6 Pro.

As mentioned in here, the Pro+ seems smoother and with a bigger throw which means a quicker time to complete the car, but not quicker cut times, that comes from the Pad/Polish combo.
