Thanks guys. It looks like Meg's calls the W64 as a 6.5" BP -- for 6.5" pads, where one may think the BP is 6.5" wide. Have you used either the 3M or the W64 with 5.5" pads?

get this from ben and the adaptor from Nica when he gets more in

I'm not sure I like the idea of an adapter on a machine. MikeyC had a horror story from using a PC with an adapter so it'll take a lot for me to use one ... sure it's a different animal with a rotary, but it's not worth the risk to me .
