    Just got a PM from Edge over on AGO. This sucker's out! I wonder if I can further rig it to accept a 3M BP?

    Now is this for just the metal adapter and no plate..using your exsisting one...I am not sure I like the design of the plate shown...it does not look like it incorporates the gear drive....need to see more info on it...and what it includes and views of both sides of the plate....I will wait till its out awhile..as Flex will not warranty any machine with modified plates...thats what I was told...

    I have no idea Al. I can't access the video that's on that page to see what the conversion entails. But when I first saw it, I too thought it didn't look like it incorporates the gear drive.

    Unless the gear teeth are on the other side of the plate that's shown. I'll be waiting on this also, but just wanted to share.

    The video is the same one The Edge posted a few months ago. Just an fyi

    I'd love to do this with the edge pads, but I have way too many lake country and sonus pads. IF someone wanted to trade or buy them off me I'd be willing to upgrade to this system.

    I've got more than enough pads now also. I know when the Flex DA first came out, a lot of people were wanting to get one, but were bound to the Edge system.

    I know of one AGO member that's purchased the adapter plate. Hopefully he posts something within the next week or so for those others that have Edge pads waiting around and are using their Flex DA with a limited number of velcro backing pads.

    I think it's on hiatus ever since 3M bought Edge from what I kind of picked up on another board.

    Yeah I did some research last night and found out the same info thanks though!

    I also found out that there might be some other issue's with the plate as well. Someone has broken 3 in a row already. :thud:

    I think the best bet is for someone to just make a smaller diameter BP I don't think the Edge would ever be a viable and reliable option IMO.
