Mike Phillips recommended foam pads for the FLEX Family of BEAST 8mm Gear-Driven Orbital Polishers

here's another option which will help protect against any damage caused from the backing plate...

Is that the way you look at it? I always looked at it as the machine didn't get bogged down by a thick pad, so you could use thick pads which allows you to use the edge for tight spaces. I was just saying to someone else, that was the great thing when I got my Flex was that all those old thick 7" rotary pads that they were selling for PC's 20 years ago that were useless on those machines, were perfect for the Flex.

Well these pads were made specifically for forced rotation. I think thinner ones were getting blown out by the heat and never heard anyone talk about that being the reason but who knows.

I know Mike mentions using the side but I’ll stick with my mini polishers personally

Thanks guys. I use the force pads for my BEAST, but it has been some time since I lurked around the forums. Was just curious if these were still recommended.

So do you use the edge of the pad for getting into tight spaces?

Me? No I also have a mini polisher.
