Tony ,
There is really no difference, I prefer the cut you get with 5 pad .
Why do you want to weight your machine. Are you cutting lippage? This si the only time I recommend weight and then I only recommend 20 to 25 pounds depending upon the stone.
In normal honing, by adding weight will do two things, 1. Wear out diamond faster diamonds are made to cut weight wears out diamonds. 2 you will increase the amount of picture framing.

Subject: [sccpartners] Resin Pads
I have been hearing that using 4 3 inch diamond resin pads cuts faster than 5. Is this true and why? Also does anyone have any ideas on how to make your own weighted plate for a floor machine?
