Re: Why would you need a smaller pad for a DA? (N00B)

I'd use only the 4" pads for correction, large *or* small areas; the 5.5" size was never small enough to be a huge improvement over the larger ones IME. And yeah, you'll need a small backing plate.

Note the big differenced JuneBug *did* notice with the 5.5" pads...maybe that's an indication that today's pads are better than the ~5" ones that I used. Or maybe that just means that the 4" ones would *utterly* astound him

I guess the main idea is "smaller is better" and it might become a matter of degree once you get down below 6".
