Edge 2000 pad failure, 2nd use.

[Whitethunder46]

I've been hearing a lot of problems lately. Makes me think about trying some LC pads. I would forget Edge all together, but I've never heard of these problems w/ a rotary or rotary pads, thus I'll be getting 8" waves when I get my Metabo.

they should have provided the washer with the padsthen since they are selling a product that might not work with the PC even thought it says it will... should be a warning or something

[Surfer]

I don't know how you guys are having these issues? I've had mine over a year, and even a custom set of 4" pads they made for over a year ago as well before they came out, myself and friends have never had any of these issues with the Edge pads? I could never use hook and loop/velcro pads again.

Well that means either all PC's arent designed the same or the Edge pads arent designed all the same. There are going to be variances along the line. But Edge needs to start checking their pads before selling them, if they dont already. Its obviously an on going problem that needs to be addressed and quickly.

Since it is busted anyway, do an autopsy--find out what it inside--how it is made.--you will probably see what is broken.

Report back! With pics!

With the 2 washers, does your other pads work? My pads didn't rub with no washer, but they would not rotate.

just use rotary everyone lol jk ...well i love rotary and dnt even really use the PC anymore

[Nimble]

You don't need washers with edge pads, don't you think they'd tell you that if ALL their pads would rub the PC's head? Seems kind of odd the problems you guys are having. I have none of them and my Edge kite outperforms my LC pads tenfold.

[LazerRed1]

If I hadn't already washed the pad, I'd post a picture to show the black on the top of the pad from rubbing the machine. Pretty sure I know when the pad is rubbing.

[The Edge]

The system is not meant to be used with washers. The pad should not hit anything, and we do check the pads and they are designed for the PC. That being said, we also warrenty the product so just send the blue pad back and we will replace with a new one. Don't know what happened yet, but after we get it back we always inspect them to learn what happened and improve if possible.
