Pads Hotter Than Your Morning Cup of Coffee

I just took an infrared reading on the back of my CCS heavy cutting pad and it was at 152°F as the last pass for that pad before switching to a fresh one (one body panel completed with it).

So that’s about 66°c . . . I don’t think that’s unusual at all. The Thin Pro Pads are designed to be used on Long Throw machines but I don’t believe the CCS Pads are. Sure they’re going to work somewhat but for optimal harmony perhaps stick with the Thin Pros or even give the HDO Pads a shot, these are incredibly nice pads.

Maybe someone from Lake Country Manufacturing can chime in with some better advice than I.

Well ok! Maybe I was being a little worried just because it's new for me to warm up a pad. My GG6 hardly changed the temp on the pads using them. My new 21mm can warm them up pretty good. So far in my project today, my CCS Heavy Cutting Pads haven't taken any damage or have any "bacon crisp."

Maybe you could try cutting a hole in the center of a test pad in order to duplicate the dimensions & design of the original intended pad, Rupes' pads, or Rupes-like pads. LC's pad version of for the long-throw has a hole. Maybe a hole would help.

21mm with 5.5 inch pads? Pads are 2 small?

I think they're just barely sufficient for a 21 mm throw.

I may have to give that a try with one of my older ones as it starts to reach it's end of life. All my pads are pretty fresh right now though
