Default Flex and Ceramic kit ???

Well my reading has promoted me to trade up to the flex polisher with the menernza ceramics kit.

Where can I get an adapter to use all my existing 6" LC pads or do they now only serve the PC I have used in the past???

Your 6" LC pads should fit right on the Flex 3401.

As agent, said, they will work perfectly with the Flex. It comes with an integrated hook & loop backing plate.

when and if time permits, consider the Edge/Flex adapter for smaller pad needs, wants, and desires. But as offered the pads you have will work fine with the Flex backing plate.

adapter is made and sold by Edge which was now bought by 3M. Type edge adapter in google and watch their site as often only offered in small batches for a short time. If I see another release I will post here for my Flex friends.

I heard two reasons, first they have to get the actual backing plate from the Flex to install their adapter. And second it has a very high manufacturing time and backing plate is plastic and adapter is metal which can present damaged goods if not precision machined. Limited Edition sounds nice ... maybe in a Corvette Jetstream Blue coloring.

my guess is it will show up here when available since 3M now owns them.
