Pads for the Flex?
I'm ordering my FLEX DA any hour here yet I'm not sure what pads I need for it. Can I get the 5.5 inch pads or do I have to get the 6.5? Any help would be great!

Really? I've heard that it's cutting it close with the Flex backing plate which is 5.5".

Re: Pads for the Flex?
New Flex BP is 5.5"..

Most like to have a little over hang so 5.5" would not be what most (including me) would use..

6" pads are perfect for the new 5.5" BP

Re: Pads for the Flex?
I have the 5.5 BP and use 6.5" pads. For me the 5.5" pads are too risky. 6" pads would be okay. Great machine.
