How many of you here use the LC 7.5" pads with the PC? Or how many have tried it? Any reasoning why or why not? Thanks for the info... I'll post my answers after a few people reply...

I was under the impression that the PC did not have enough power for a 7.5 pad? I use the 6.5 and have never head a problem, never tried the 7.5 though. Interested to see what other members will come up with though.

the smaller the pad the better on a pc...i actually prefered the orange 5.5 inch low profile orange pads when it comes to cutting with a pc...does way more correcting in less time on a pc...7.5 are a bit big for a pc...not unusable but you will be spending a lot more time with less results...not to bad if you are just using a finishing polish...

When I first got my PC a few years back...I used my rotary pads 7.5 in with it...seemed like I was working for ever to get any where...3..4...5..6...pases on a panel to get results...plus the PC seemed to run hotter seemed like to much pad surface area to move..The I went over to 6 and 6.5 pads...seemed a little better but still took time to do the work....then I switched to 5.25 and 5.5 inch pads..now I get pad rotation..the pad actually was spinning ...correction went much faster...product use was way less...panels felt much warmer from pads generating heat with the rotation...products broke down nicer....results were much better due to products breaking down better...
any ways thats my observations....now my PC use is with 4"..5.25"...and 5.5 inch pads..
