5" pads for rotary?

[wagonproject]

I am looking to pick up a bunch of new pads and was wondering if anyone uses 5" (flat) or 5.5" (CCS) pads instead of the 6.5" pads on their rotary? Or should I just stick with the 6.5" flat or CCS pads? I have a ton of 4" pads already so Im not worried about getting into tight places with them.

I use 5.5 and 6.5. Tighter/curved spots are better with the 5.5 and flat larger panels, get the 6.5. You can use the same BP for both BTW

I prefer 5.5" pads.

I'd suggest the CCS pads. They work great on a rotary.

YES!!! I recently just found out how great the LC 5.5" low-profile pads work on a rotary. I like it MUCH better than using the 6.5" standard profile. In fact, I don't even like using the LC 6.5" CCS pads on the rotary. For 6.5", I prefer Meg's pads.

+1, from my few attempts to date the 5/5.5" CCS pads have worked nicely. Easy to manuever
