Wondering which pads generally work the best on the Flex 3401. Cobra cross groove, CCS, Flat, Kompressor? Different brands-LC, Megs, Griots, FleX (not associated with Flex the machine)? Which is your favorite for which applications?

:cheers:

I love the Edge 2k system on mine. I even use the 8" with great result. I also like not having to worry about applying too much pressureto the plate and burning it because the plate is inside the pad and can flex without touching the housing. Changing from 8"-6"-4" is a snap.

Thanks. I've read some about these. I understand that they now make a backing plate that will fit the 3401.

Does the Flex DA polisher have a forced rotation?

That is the only thing I don't like about my PC. I bought a rotary polisher
recently because of that one particular issue.
