Flat PC pads vs. Concave Pads

[tguil]

I use both flat pads and concave pads on my PC. I cannot really tell the difference in performance between the two styles. I sort of use whatever is dry and handy. Of course, I do check for the abrassive level.



How about some opinions on this topic?

and don't have a clear favorite. Some prefer the flat while others will reach for the contoured.



Keep in mind:

Pressure = Force/Area

In theory, if you need to "dig" into a surface or wish to apply more pressure, the contoured pad would be the better choice.
