To Edge or not?
I'm new to autopia and have some questions. I have a PC and need new pads. Was wondering if switching to the edge system is worth it or just get new LC or Sonus pads. Like using the 4" on the PC and thinking the 6" Edge pads maybe to much for the PC.

Re: To Edge or not?
IMO 6" Edge is too much.
I would go with a 3.5" BP 4" and 5" pads. I like 5" Danase CCS. 4" sonus or if you want 4" CCS at AG.

Re: To Edge or not?
You could do Edge with 4" pads as well. They are cyclo polisher pads but that's no matter.

Re: To Edge or not?
If you want smaller Edge pads just use what they make for the Cyclo.

Re: To Edge or not?
I like The Edge system. I just bought all Lake County pads to give them a shot, I dont see any advantage. The Edge will be back in my shop once these LC wear out.

The EDGE 3000 is the way to go.

Re: To Edge or not?
I don't have an Edge adaptor for my PC, so I have no idea how well their pads work with DA's, but I sure like both the six inch foam and six inch Edge 2K pads on the rotary.
As the other guys have said, the four inch cyclo pads are the ones to get. You'll get much more correction power with the smaller pads on the PC.

Not even with a PC-to-rotary adapter? I was really thinking of doing this for my PC since I already have the 3k adapter for my Metabo.
I just simply like the 3k adapter better but still have the issue of finding a vendor that will send me the correct pads for the 3k adapter.

Re: To Edge or not?
Seems that the price is about equal give or take a couple of bucks. the 4" cyclo pads can be used on either side as opposed to buying two 4" pads which is about the same price as one cyclo pad. Any advantages going with a 3.5" bp and using 4" or 5" pads compared to using the edge and cyclo 4" pads?

This would only be wise loc-tited in.
And edgepadsonline.com has all the 3k 'ready' pads you could ever want.
