Flex 3401 owners what do you use on tight areas where a smaller pad is required
I have the Flex 3401 and I use the Edge Flex adapter with 4" pads for tight areas.
I was wondering what other Flex 3401 owners do in this situation as I am not completely satisfied with the Edge pads.

I had wished that flex would have made a smaller backing plate for the 3401 but it never happened....

PC here too, the Edge deal with pads would have cost me 80-90 dollars so it worked better for me to use pads I could get for 30 dollars and buy a PC for a 100 and have an extra machine in case mine broke or if someone else wanted to help me do a job.

Thanks everyone for you input. I think I got my answer. Use a PC. It is a shame that the makers of the Flex (such a fine machine) have left such a deficiency in their product unaddressed.

As a product guy myself, I'm guessing they faced tradeoffs in cost, effectiveness or both. At the end of the day, the Flex is a machine for a specific purpose. I've really liked mine. My PC is used for certain tasks, or when I'm not interested in being as aggressive as the Flex allows me to be, or I use the 3" for the tight stuff.
I think they chose not to compromise, and it is a great product.

So Stu, if you don't mind a question. You bought the 4" Edge adapter and you still have a lot of areas that require something smaller? Being on a budget I've had to make do with doing small areas by hand, but I have the Edge adapter on my radar for a future purchase. I'm surprised there would be that many spots unreachable with a 4" pad.
Can you elaborate?
