Can I use 5.5inch pads on the Makita?

[jdrop01]

Just curious if I would be able to use my 5.5inch pads I have for my PC on the makita? I plan on buying the makita this week. It has been a rough decision between the makita and flex 3401, and I have decided the rotary is where I need to be after using my PC. So can I use my 5.5inch pads with the makita? :usa

wow quick replies! i decided on the makita due to pricing compared to the 3401. Plus I really want that deep shine that the rotary can produce. My practice victim will be my wife`s 02 Xterra!
