On a threaded machine you need an adapter such as the BRUIN Snail-Lock to 5/8-11 Adapter – 4 in., Snail-Lock to 5/8-11 Thread, or a threaded backer such as the Diamax Cyclone Firm Backer Pad – 4 in., Rigid Rubber Body. The legacy store title also described it as red; Diamax publishes no color for this pad.
