Autogeek Yellow Cutting Foam Pad

[chml17l]

I ordered a bunch of stuff from Autogeek about a month ago. Today I went to use some of the pads I had ordered and was a little suprised. My yellow cutting foam pad (6.5" VC) has ~ a 3/8" diameter centered hole completely thru the pad and the velcro backing. http://www.autogeek.net/vcpad.html



Checked the Autogeek website and that's definitely how it's manufactured. Is this hole for those Edge 2000 quick adapters? If not, what's the reason behind this?

Isn't that for certain rotary backing plates that have a centering plug?

OK, so this pad could be used by either a rotary or PC then?

Yeah, it's aimed more at a rotary though. You might get some micromarring with a PC that's tough to get out. Its basically the foam version of a wool compounding pad.

Thanks for the enlightenment.:bigups

They make some type of tool that fits into the pad and backing plate so you can center the pad easier.

Dont get any polish down that hole....



If you switch to a pad without a hole, and with product on the BP, you might melt the pad to the BP on speed 6.
