LS130 Pad for 3/4" Bull Nose

[NVA_WW]

I guess my LS130 pads are getting a tad old and they are starting to fall apart.  For the life of me, I can't remember the sizes I purchased when I first got my sander over 10 years ago.

I'm in the process of sanding a few 3/4" thick table tops that have are rounded all around (bull nose).  I was using one of my pads during the process and kaboom it feel apart.  I am not sure if it was a Radius 6 or Radius 10 pad.  For those of you with LS130's, what size do you think would work best for 3/4" bull nose rounded table top edges?

I will be placing my order today in hopes of getting a new pad before next weekend.  Thanks in advance.

The 10mm should work OK, but the radius is only at the center of two otherwise flat , straight sides that go out at something more like a 45 - 60 degree angle to each other. This can be good for control and helps avoid surface scratches on the face of your piece. But might not fit the bullnose as well as you would like. I think you might actually want the 25mm Concave  for bullnose (the 18mm will be a tight fit and might not work well unless you undersize your edge by a couple millimeters).  Have a look at the two pages of profiles here for the pad shapes and numbers.

I use the 25mm concave with an interface pad... Just right
