Lake Country curved pads + rotary

[bpfoley]

I have a bunch of 6.5" Lake Country pads and am looking at getting a rotary. I want to know if it is OK to use the concave pads. Does it make the rotary harder to use? Should I get some flat pads, larger diameter pads?

I figure I will start out with my white LC pads and some FPII to get a feel for the machine. I only ask as many people state that rotary requires only the weight of the machine itself which makes me think that a lot of polish will become trapped in the "polish pocket"

also, everywhere I look I only see rotary backing plates that support 7.5" and up pads. properautocare.com has a 6" BP but says not for use with their 6-inch pads.

Thanks!

Not really, I use the 6.5 inch curved edge variable contact pads even on my standard edge 6.5 backing plate without a problem, though a 4 or 5 inch backing plate will be coming shortly.
I've got all the plates and pads from 3 inch and up for the PC but I have not been able to afford the voltage and plug adaptors (150 plus)

Pakshak and the geeks at autogeek have all the LC backing plates, though watch out with the 7 inch LC one, it didn't quite fit my makita 9227 and flew off at high speed
