well im trying to get some honest opinions about some pads for my rotary, right now i have the curved edged pads(i have one flat pad) and for some reason im getting better control using the flat pad vs the curved edge pads. so what im trying to figure out is what pad style do YOU like better curved edge or flat pads...need to order more pads just trying to get opinions of the users here at AGO...thanks guys/gals for the information..

LC VC pads are my typical go to. Kompressors are nice too.

I like the 6.5'' LC HT pads.

I had problems with the 1st gen Kompressor pads with product slinging and intend to return my unused ones.

I have not yet tried them but they are on my list of purchases. I am a fan of HT pads. Thanks for reminding me!!

I love 5.5 hydrotech pads... They work just perfect with a little pressure. Excellent results!

The only foam pads I have used with the Maktia are 5.5" Low-Profile CCS Pads. So while I may not be able to tell you what pads work well with rotaries, I can tell you I did not like the CCS pads with the Makita. However, I did like the blue finessing pad.
