Any update on this since Detail Fest?

Sigh....

I hear it may be ready by May.

Well that's depressing but better to know that than hold my breath. Thanks.

Sure is. I was hoping to get it before detailing season hit. I had to order LC pads instead of the EDGE QD pads. Bummer.

As much as I hated to do it, I sold off all my Edge 2000 pads and replaced them with LC pads.

My justification for almost buying a Makita last week was so I could use 4inch pads

. The flex is fine for now, still waiting on the adapter though.

I will let you guys do the testing on this. I am very nervouse about this. Like I've said before, the system kept crapping out on my with the beads falling out with the PC. The Flex is a stronger faster working machine, if it happens with the Flex theres no telling what you'll mess up. I would love for it to work great and to buy it cause I loved it when it worked so I will have my fingers crossed.

My concern is with the adapter being in the center and the pad attached to it..if it will cause the original backing plate to flex more and rub on the metal housing...I also had 2 of the PC adapters fail so I hope the flex one is a bit more rugged...

the other thing would if any warranty issues using a non eom plate unless Edge gets approval from flex to use it....now to pushing a plate...3 paltes with a plate inside....and the adapter directly connected to the shaft which may cause wear due to offset design from original design..remember..this is direct drive...

Jay what are you talking about beads?

I got this in an email from John this AM.

"We are looking to launch the Flex adapter for E2K pads in roughly 4-6 weeks."

I just can't wait that long so I'm going to by another Makita to replace my now broken one.

I believe he's talking about the ball bearings in the adapter that keeps the pad locked onto the adapter.

I've had the same thing happen to my adapter. It was replaced with no problem. Now I'm being extra careful and not popping out the pad while the adapter is hot. Don't know if that will make a difference.
