Lake Country=CMA=TOL?

I bought the pads from TOL, and if I recall correctly, they said Lake Country on them. I'll check tonight when I get home.

I have the CMA and TOL pads and they look identical. I haven't tried the TOL pad yet though and they do say Lake County on them.

Do you use the PC Hook and loop pad from PC?



I have the PC supplied backing plate part 18001 "standard" hook and loop. It does not hold on pads for doody! Is there another plate that works better? I see one on TOL, is that any good?



I have brand new pads that won't stick to it.



Thanks,

So I was correct in the initial assumption/assertion that spawned this thread.



Lake Country=CMA ($10.95)=TOL ($7.50)...



Yes!
 
Yep, I bought these pads and used them for the first time last weekend (see my post "Father's Day Detail" in the bragging section. At 6 for $45 it is a great deal. I bought 2 yellow, 3 white, 1 gray.



Used 1 yellow with DACP

1 white with S100 SEC

1 white with Mothers Sealer/Glaze.



I tried applying the S100 (applied with a putty knife) with the grey pad, but felt like I was wasting wax, and just continued applying the S100 by hand.



Turned out great.



P.S.- I bought the 7336 from Lowes, and bought a kit for ~$5 to turn your regular backing plate to a hook and loop backing plate. Worked well for me.

YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!



ROFLMAO:lol :lol :lol :lol



It's great watching Marv call the local Knicks games for the local cable sports news network.



As a result of this thread, I bought my cutting and polishing pads from TOL.



Great investigative work! Thanks for sharing. :xyxthumbs
 
Mmmph, I just noticed that on the pad it says 6.5" x 1.25" and this matches the Lake Country part number, but on the TOL site they list it as being 7.5" size. :confused:



Could you please do me a big favour and tell me what the pad measures and what the 6.5" is referring to? I have the feeling 6.5" is for the velcro and 7.5" is overall diameter...



Lake Country is not spilling the beans to me about this issue. :rolleyes: Thanks!
 
I had a talk with Irene (TOL owner as far as I know) today (I sooo confused one of her workers, so she ended up giving the phone to Irene.) The 6.5 inch is for the velcro backing. The pad itself is 7.5 inches. I bought the 7 inch pads with the 5 3/4 / 6 inch velcro backing. I just don't want to use a bigger pad (7.5 inch) with my PC because the backing plate I have is 5 inches and I do have the 5 inch counterweight. I don't want to make the PC rattle and jiggle some more. Once I get my license I'm going to drive over to the PC service center in Queens, NY and get my PC a tune up.
 
4DSC, I have the same pads. I was initially hesitant about the fact that they were 7.5 inches and I was going to be using it on a machine that has a 6inch backing plate. I was worried that there would be too much overlap, much like trying to use 8inch pads on a 6inch backing plate.



Rest assured though that 7.5inches is the overall diameter of the pad. This oversize is I think by design, given the recessed velcro area and variable contact surface. The 6 1/2 inches probably refers to the diameter of the velcro backing. Actually, the TOTL website says that this pad is meant to be used for machines w/ 5.5 to 6inch backing plates. I've yet to try mine but let me tell you offhand that it seems to be a very good design and because of the recessed nature of the velcro backing, it seems to be feel more stable compared to the Meg 6.5 pads that I'm accustomed to.
 
No problem Brian,



Soon to come, review of TOL/Lake Country Mfg.'s 7 inch polishing pads (bought 1 foam cutting yellow, and 2 foam polishing white) and added 1 of each black finishing, white polishing, and yellow cutting 8.5 inch durafoam pads for my Makita to be tested against the 3M waffle pads I'm going to get soon.
