Well while Arron has been busy with his new twins and a busy factory, he has found time to work on the Edge 2k PC adapter. The old adapter was thought to be two long and caused too much vibration. Also a new way of holding the part together was found a “”chemical weld”” better the loc-tight was used and there should be no problems with the unit coming apart. I haven’t used this yet but will tomorrow as I worked 50+ hours in a row and really want some sleep.

The pictures are from old to new.

Arron did send me this to check out but i will say I normally use my rotary with the edge 2k pads
 
do you use a crescent wrench to take your adapter on and off? If so then I'll trade you your new adapter for a PC wrench. :) I've been using the Edge 2000 system all year due to all of my cutting pads falling apart and being too lazy to buy new ones. I've always been a big fan of the system though. I never really thought much about the vibration. It seems pretty normal to me. I'll definitely be getting one of these new adapters if they think it is an improvement. Thanks for telling us about that!
 
Appreciate the post, info and pics. I've got one of the now "older" adapters and will someday need to upgrade. I did get enough vibration at times that I'd be interested in the new adapter if it offers less vibration.
 
**************************UPDATE*********************************
Having Used this adapter a few times now I will say that it works nice. I can tell you it ""SEEMS"" to dampen the vibration and it works well. I will be torturing it soon and i will let you know how it goes
 
*****************************Second update******************************************
I have used this one a few cars now and I wll say it has less vibration then the stock pad at any speed. it's very easy to work with and I love my edge pads.

Now as far as the adapter coming apart well My old one never did and I put my PC in the garage with a finishing pad and opt polish on a tool box. I set the speed for 4 and put 10 Lbs of wieght on the Pc to give it some bogging.

After 8 hours I had a very red pad, a nice shiny spot on the tool box at the fire house. But the adapter didn't fail. now does this mean everyone will not fail.. nope but even backing plates fail...
 
has the new system for the edge pads improved. i need to get a set of pads my LC 6.5 orange pad is deteriating around the velcro , the white LC 6.5 polishing has had velco failure it has totaly fallen apart while the pad is in good conditon i no longer can use either one.

i was also looking at the LC VC pads. I noticed Dwayne has a High gloss pad i'm not Familiar w/any of the pads.I want to get a few good quality pads that someone has used .

This link to the thread is why i'm questioning the edge 2000 pads.

No one has comment on the edge 2000 so i would guess there still a problem with the quick disconnect.

The New Propel anyone?

LC VC ?

High gloss pads @ PAC?
 
Yes the adapter is improved and I belive it's totally safe now...

Sorry some of us have to work and the go skiing rather then sit at the computer and answer everyone.

He is probably joking to some extent, but also trying to point out that he isn't on the forum as much as some of us.
We all sometimes forget that lots of members only stop by periodically. Maybe weekly, maybe even monthly. One days time isn't very long to wait for a reponse about a product that isn't being used by a lot of members.

Charles the question wasn't geared directly towards any one person. anyone familliar with the above pads could have chimed in. I did a search and posted on this thread as to not start another one in regards to the polishing pads.

I don't beleive i was acting impatient. i was trying trying to get some info on the newer pads so i can order,as of now i don't have any to use and can not locate the megs 6.5 pads locally.I don't know why but the autoparts stores in my area dont have the 6.5 velcro pads.
