    I'm not sure about those particular pads but I'm pretty sure that the beveled edge 6.5 inch Rupes pads are the same as the Bauer pads sold at Harbor Freight.

    It looks like the Rupes pads have a slightly different edge design. I still think the foam is the same type based on colors and suggested usage. Personally, I think the Bauer white pads are the same type foam as the Lake Country white foam.

    Have you even used a Rupes pad? If you did you wouldn’t be making this assumption.

    Nope, never used a Rupes pad. But when 2 manufacturers offer a similar product with the same 4 items in the same 4 color codes I tend to think they are possibly, just maybe using the same supplier for their material. Of course, I could be wrong. I dunno.

    I do know that I have multiple orange cutting pads from various sources and amazingly the foam seems to be the same. The same goes for white polishing pads that I have from various sources.

    I hope that 'newer is better' holds true. The current Rupes Yellow is such a versatile pad.
