i cant get a 6.5 to work well on my griots.. just every issue i can think of .. one came with a kit i got, and the other couple pads are fine, but the orange with 105 just doesnt cut, chalks up super fast, just plain doesnt seem to do much of anything right 5.5 works great .. same pad., CCS...

bump for opinions/tips

thanks! i have the pad prep spray comin with a brush it was just on back order.. ill watch the heat no doubt.. i know i could probably turn it down to 4500 on the compound stage.. its runs hard!
