Recommended RPM's for OPT MF cutting pads??

I would think it all depends on the compound being used and the paint type and condition. This is where the famous "test spot" comes into play. Remember that using a m/f on a rotary is heading into territory never traveled before by very few if any.

It says what RPM's to use for a rotary on the packaging that it came in. I didn't pay attention as I was more focused on using them on a DA at that time.

You can let us know if a adjustment is needed for various paint and or conditions you encounter Mark. :xyxthumbs:
 
Did you throw away the packaging, Mark? Because my 3.25" MF pads showed up a couple days ago and are sitting in my garage and I could take a look at the bags if you want.

Now why exactly are the Opt pads rotary friendly and the Megs aren't?

I know Opt is thicker but is there anything in the MF material that makes it more effective on a rotary?
 
Both

I meant the 3401 as I only played with them a bit on the PE-14 but no problems on the rotary either yet.
