What pads are you using on the 3 inch groits?

I'm having a hard time finding 3 inch pads. I was wondering if the cyclo pads will work on this? Also are the 4 1/4 inch optimum pads too big for the 3 inch buffer?

What are you guys using?

Re: What pads are you using on the 3 inch groits?

I started with the 3" orange Griot's pads, but now I use 3" MF pads, either the Meg's or the Optimum.

I use Griot's pads, Meg's and Optimum mf pads, and just picked up the 3" Lake Country Hydro Tech pads.

Re: What pads are you using on the 3 inch groits?

3" sanding discs...

The machine is really not capable of turning a pad with any pressure at all. At first I was unhappy with it but then I made it my dedicated sanding machine and it works great. I do use 3" optimum MF, and 3" LC HT pads on my Flex PE-14 though. Love them!

Really? See I wanted this for the door pillars mirrors etc. I also planned using it for sanding head lights.
