The Edge single sided Rotary wool pads?

I think the new backing plate would also be nice and would also extend the drive shaft out and put the pad further from the buffer which I like

Ryan, I agree. I just ordered some edge/presta wool double sided pads that require the adapter that I also ordered. I will purchase one of the backing plates that go on to the edge adapter as soon as they come out.



Edit: I hear the new backing plate adapter should be out in approx 30 days.

gmblack3a, I might not be reading you quite right.



If you are using the Edge "double sided pads" all you need is the "Adapter".



The Backing plate they are coming out with (30 days), is "Just" for the "single sided pads, but you will able to use the adapter with this backing plate for fast changing and centering of the single sided pads.

I'm not so sure about this!! I really believe it is still up in the air as to what Aaron/engineers design! Remember, they are incorporating the "small metal EDGE adapter" into the design of there backing plate. Therefore I can see a number of ways they could go, but only Aaron and his engineers will ultimately unveil the "Product", I hope it is soon, or they will loose a years worth of income, the professionals are not going to wait on there mass purchases with a promise! Time is money, and the money season for these dudes is HOT now!!

As for the rest of us (me), I can improvise by using/getting a backing plate with what I currently have, however I don't particularly like to purchase something that will be useless in (for me and others) in a month, if the EDGE backing plate works OK, or is even available.



Aaron, you need to start "burning some paint" with those engineers!

This is just how I see it, others will differ I'm sure!

why dont you just buy the double sided wool pads that work with the e2k adapter? problem solved....and the whole point of e2k system is not having to worry about centering and backing plate damage....the preta polishes wont work any better with presta pads as opposed to the same pad that is double sided that is made by the same manufacturer...

Well Sir, maybe I don't want to have double sided pads, I want to have single sided pads! Would it be OK with you if I get what I want? I am very sorry that it upsets you but since it is my dollar and my wish, I think I should be able to get what I want, is that OK?



Now when you put down your money for what you want, I give you my word that I will not interfere in any way!!

I hear the sizes offered for the BPs will be 5" and 6.5".



I got my dual side black presta (edge) pad today. It is very thick.

Change - you should get these from my Auto Magic guy. He sells them for like $6 or $7!!! He probably won't even charge you shipping. Let me know if you need his #. :up

i was just trying to point out an opportunity to get a better value...

Sorry to be so abrupt to you sir, but value is in the eyes of the user. If I use a double sided pad, and something go's wrong, I loose 2 pads!



If I am trying to teach some dudes to use a rotary, my cost is doubled relative to pads, because I have to have two of them (one for each rotary).



If I want to use "ONE product" for each pad (thanks David), I really can't with a 2 sided pad, unless I want to spend extra/double for a pad for each product.



The cost of manufacture of a 2 sided pad should be cheaper than a 1 sided pad because of manufacturing Techniques, but the 2 sided pads are "more" than double the price of a single sided pad!

This is a personnel thing and might fit some individual better with a 2 sided pad, you need to give it some thought before deciding which way to go.



I ordered some Edge pads (wool) which are of the single sided style (need backing plate). I think the quality (if plushness is a factor) of these pads is "Awesome", definitely better than a wool pad I purchased from AG (Polishing Pad #77-216).

To utilize the "Edge connection tool system" a new backing plate is being developed by Edge engineers. In my opinion this is the way to go, but I am sure others will find exceptions to what I think.

I just wish they would through there resources into this single pad backing plate issue with a little more "gusto", because now I have to order a rotary backing plate from AG which will become worthless if Edge designs a really great BP !!

All the above are my opinions, if you don't like them I am sorry, but this is how I see the issue.
