Re: Why is FG400 doing this to me?
Or even switch to a foam pad for a trial run to see if its the same results

You might also want to slow your speed down just a tad.

I concur with the above 2
1) Work clean (clean pad often)
2) Don't oversaturate the pad with products
3) Don't "cook" the product by working at high speeds and for too long, or by driving the pad in the panel
4) A little extra moisture on the pad may help the work time.
As previously stated ambient temp and % humidity will allow you more or less time to work. You just have to adjust the technique

I blow out the pad after ever section pass. I try and use less product, trial and error, same thing. I just switched to a new pad, same thing. I use no pressure and the machine on 4.5, same thing. It's so weird that it only happens on the rupes. My griots 3inch I don't have this issue.

Are you using a mf pad on the GG3?

Yes, Meg's micro cutting pad.

Re: Why is FG400 doing this to me?
I would have to say that the DAT technology in Menzerna products do not play well with mf pads combined with the large stroke machines.
It does fine coupled with mf pads on 8mm throw machines but I dont think it behaves properly on that larger throw.

Re: Why is FG400 doing this to me?
I remember having this issue with the 21, although I don't remember which compound(s) or polish(s) it was. I chalked it up to the long throw of the 21 because changing products, not technique, reduced or eliminated the dusting.
If you have a shorter throw machine, try that. Or, try another pad material. Good luck.

Re: Why is FG400 doing this to me?
Just like Nick said. Keep the pads clean and I wouldn't go past speed 4. Ideally working between 3-3.5 The MF discs were not designed to be used at high speed for any machine, much less a large orbit da.
