you can use the same edge pads on the rotary...just get the edge adapter for a rotarty...my 6 inch da pads and wave pads work just as well on the rotary as they do on my porter cable...

Hey congrats on the Metabo purchase, you'll enjoy it. The first time you use it you will notice the difference...well that is if you have used other rotary's. I love how the Metabo feels in my hands, so confortable...no pressure points...oh and no vibration YYYYAAAAAAYYYYY!!!

Okay the pads, I agree with orngez. Just get your self the addaptor for the rotary and your set. I got some Lake Country pads and I just purchased the rotary backing plate (the appropriate size too) and I use them on the rotary too. I'm going to try and get a buch of the old style of Lake Country pads before they are gone...cant have enough pads.

Thanks Nica I think you steered me in the Metabo Direction. I think if I am ever in Calgary I should hook up with you. Congrats on your Cyclo! Same holds true in Detoit area for you.Maybe I can show you some virtual reality in the automotive sector. I am looking forward to using it. So let me get this straight, a adapter and an a backing plate for the non Edge pads? Maybe I should consider some LC pads also? I appreciate you and Orngez alot!
