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.

Chemical weld? That new one looks like it's one piece.

Its still 2 pieces , you need to be able to set the tension . Aaron used to cut down the adpater's for the PC in house , now its all done somewhere else.

Oh...you mean he used to cut them down from the rotary adapters?

Yeah the PC adpater's were made from cutting down rotary adpater's on a lathe . It was alot easier doing it that way since the majority of adpaters sold are for rotary's. Now there's the new version for the PC as well as a stronger rotary adpater.
 
**************************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 :woohoo:
 
*****************************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...
