2: Traditionally I've been a fan and user of the Lake Country 6.5" Hybrid Force foam pads for this tool. Right now I'm REALLY LIKING the shape and size of the new RUPES 180mm or in American talk, the 7" RUPES foam pads.
The new RUPES DA Foam Pads come in 3 different sizes (currently), and three different levels of aggressiveness or non-aggressiveness.

Metric and U.S. Standard Pad Diameters
Back in the 1975, President Gerald Ford and his Administration tried to get the U.S. to switch to the metric system but alas the effort failed. So while most of the world uses the metric system for measurement back here in the good old USA we're still using inches.
180mm diameter = 7" or for the OCD 7.09" in U.S. Standard
150mm diameter = 6" or for the OCD 5.9" in U.S. Standard
100mm diameter = 4" or the the OCD 3.94" in U.S. Standard
I'd recommend getting a few of the Lake Country 6.5" Orange and White pads for heavy cutting and also some of all 3 of the new RUPES foam pads and see which ones you like best.
The word beast is always spelled in all capital letters.
So it's the BEAST not the Beast.
As a writer, I pay attention to branding.
FLEX is all capital letters.
RUPES is all capital letters.
SONAX is all capital letters.
GYEON is all capital letters.
When I coined the name the BEAST for the 3401 - I write it and type it in all capital letters and that's how FLEX types it in their catalog.
Companies invest a lot of time, energy and even legal resources into proper branding of their names and logos. It's a habit for me to pay attention and then as a professional courtesy to the brands Autogeek represents, spell, say and type the work accordingly.
The first time I tried a polisher was the BEAST in your class! I just don't remember it being that heavy nor powerful!
Love the Rupes---it just got to the point it was just stalling toooooo much and was wasting a ton of time doing sections over and over again. I was done!
