Does anyone know where all the Edge pads for the Porter Cable went? The site only shows 4 different ones for sale? Are they just out or is it time to move on to a new type pad?

I should have been more specific, but yes I know where they are on the site, just wondering why they are out of so many pads. So will 3m still be making these or should i move on to Lake Country pads and a backing plate? Thanks

I was also wondering if they were going to discontinue them.

I like the 6 inch edge pads.

Do they make them smaller?Sorry didn't know you were using a PC.From what i hear they are working on pads for PC 5.5 size which seems like a smart move but haven't heard when.I guess they are waiting to see how the 7" sell
