Where to find small dia pads for use w/EDGE 2k system
Guys, where can I find the small diameter pads that can be used with the EDGE adapter on my Makita? Do I have to buy the small backing plate and pads or are there pads that connect directly to the EGDE 2k adapter?
I see Gloss-It has the "backing plates" but they're $$$:
Gloss-it 3 and 5 Evo Rotary Backing Plate Duo
Thanks for any suggestions.

You're quite welcome. I have these pads and they are great for pillars, getting around door handles, headlights, etc. |

Re: Where to find small dia pads for use w/EDGE 2k system
The six inch edge 2k pads, both wave and regular, are *really* getting hard to find. It doesn't look like AG (or anyone else for that matter) is restocking them after they sell them out.
The six inch Edge 2k wave foam pads are my favs, too.

Re: Where to find small dia pads for use w/EDGE 2k system
It's not just the 6", seems to be the 8" also...and they don't have any pads on the 3M site anymore, either. What's up with that?

Re: Where to find small dia pads for use w/EDGE 2k system
The 6" orange pad is almost impossible to find. I love the Edge system. It's a shame to see that 3M is apparently not loving Edge 2K also...

Re: Where to find small dia pads for use w/EDGE 2k system
That's a shame. I love my ShMitts and if they had come out with their Flex adapter faster I would still be using their pads as well. |

Ranney is a top notch guy, though.... I bought my Flex 3403 from him.
