Does anyone have the 6" TOL Flex pad holder?



Universal Flex Pad Holder 6"



Only one picture shows the 'foam' cushion around the flex pad so it makes me wonder if it's a boo-boo. I want something with some good flex but also with a bit of protection. I really wish we could get those 3M backing plates the guys in europe can get.



At any rate, if you do have this item can you give a quick review of it?

I use one on my Metabo rotary. It is a well made backing plate, and just the right size for the 7 inch CCS pads.

Is it wrapped in foam like the picture on the page? the reason I ask is because not all the pictures in the page show that foam.



Also, doesn't LC just make 6.5 and 7.5" CCS pads? which ones do you have?

are you talking about the blackfoam?



if so I think that is a finishing pad

and not part of the BP
 
Mindflux, I have the TOTL unit, but the only thing I have to compare it to is a 3m one I have. I really like it and it is quite flexible. the center, shiny piece is hard plastic and the surround is a rubber/foam type substance. the velcro is quite tacky and I am very happy with it. Now, I don't know if it's the best out there or any thing, but I like mine. If you have any specific questions you can PM me.

Oh so it does have a foam substance? That's what it looked like to me and then I sort of lost hope when someone mentioned it may just be a pad.



Can you get a picture of it for me so I can get a better idea of it?

How does it compare to the 3m BP???



Pics would be great!!!:D
 
the pic looks deceiving but my guess would be that the backing plate does not have a foam that surrounds it. Like someone had mentioned previously, to me it looks more like it's sitting on top of a black finishing pad with a little pressure applied.



FWIW, my guess would be that the bp is manufactured by Lake Country. Here's AG's Lake Country rotary bp:

EDIT:



Upon further inspection, the reason why the pics look just slightly different is because that's not a 6" pad that you're seeing on the TOL website. It looks like they're using the 4 3/4" rotary backing plate with the adapter and the pic was taken with a PC, as you can see the PC's gray shroud in the photo.
 
I like it better than the 3M because it's more flexible and it's further from the machine which gives me more room to maneuver.
