Edge 2k pad issues

[Z06Mike]

My Edge pads rotate but only a little, and that goes for all 6" pads from other manufacturers, the PC orbits more then it rotates. Personally I love the Edge pads and they work perfect for me, it could be the size of the pads being double sided, but either way I've never had trouble with them hitting the PC or brekaing down polishes/compounds.

:iagree:

The lack of intense "spinning" is probably the niche feature for the PC. It is almost an "idiot proof" tool. Take a look at the video on using the PC with Mike Phillips. There is a segment where he puts a line on a Meg's pad and shows how the PC does not "spin" as most folks believe it does.

I believe to make the PC the most effective that the pad should indeed spin. This way the pad not only jiggles into the paint but it also rotates ... which I would see more effective than just the jiggling. As Al said, check out this thread that I made the other day: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/porter-cable-7424-pad-forum/6160-how-i-use-pc-videos-pics.html My 7.5" pads spin and jiggle, so I see no reason why your 6 inch pads do not.
