    Flex DA smaller pad conversion?

    Flex XC 3401 VRG Dual Action Orbital Polisher

    Is there any way to use my (3) new 4" H-T pads with the flex.
    I bought the Griots and also bought a small backing plate with a few small pads but I am probably going to move up to the Flex. Is there any kind of adapter to use small pads with the flex? I'm pretty sure there are not but I though it couldn't hurt to ask.

    Thanks,
    :dancebanana:

    A flex 3403 to go with your 3401. I asked Dwayne at AG when trying to get all my combinations sorted out and was told there wasn't one he knew of.

    This lets you work with 4 inch pads but only the double sided version

    Just use your Griot for tight areas.

    Arrrg, I'm starting to think when you buy a machine, it's just a down payment on pads.

    I guess my misunderstanding was there isn't a backing plate for the Lake Country Hook & loop style pads I have.

    Thanks for the correction Edge.

    Hi i already have the Edge flex 3401 adapter and an assortment of the 4" pads to go with it. Can this adapter be used so that I may also use the larger 6
    ' Edge pads as well. Are the 6" Edge pads double sided?

    The adapter is standard for all edge pads.

    The larger Edge pads are 6" and then the even larger pads are 8" I believe.
