I have to say, I am starting to worry about the order I just placed... PC with Edge pads package. This is starting to become a recurring theme...

My Edge pads rotate but only a little, and that goes for all 6" pads from other manufacturers, the PC orbits more then it rotates. Personally I love the Edge pads and they work perfect for me, it could be the size of the pads being double sided, but either way I've never had trouble with them hitting the PC or brekaing down polishes/compounds.

I too agree with Surfer, it's really not a big deal about the pads not spinning. If you want them to spin step up to the rotary, I use the Edge pads on PC (when I had my PC) now I use them on my rotary and the Edge pads work good. Like I said just becuase the pads aren't spinning dosent mean it's not working properly...well I have never had any problems with the PC execpt that I too was curious bout the spinning affect. When I used the PC I expected the pads to spin but that's not the PC, if you want spinning action get a rotary....well at least that's whta I have learned.

Oh and this is just my opinion/experiance only.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE EDGE PADS WERE REALLY MADE AT FIRST JUST FOR THE ROTARY...........IM THINKING THEY WERE NOT REALLY A P.C. PAD, TO THICK AND NOT GETTING HOT ENOUGH FOR BREAKDOWN, ALTHOUGH THEY DO WORK ON THE P.C FOR SOME, I WASN'T HAPPY WITH THEM ON MY P.C...... I USE THE REG LAKE COUNTRY FLATS FOR MY P.C .ONLY EDGE FOR ROTARYS....

Bill,I think the E2K 6" pads where designed to be used with a PC as the DA pads are made to cut at lower speeds, when used on a rotory i would keep the speed to a min ..

Edge makes better foam for slower defect removal than LC. They take more out at lower speeds than LC, research autopia and you'll see that time and time again. The edge foam is 10x nicer than LC. I sold about 30 LC pads and replaced with 12 edge and couldn't be happier. Much less vibration and better defect removal for me.
