Now that looks like an interesting product....too bad it costs as much as a PC.

I received my kit in the mail and got to try it out today. The orbital kit seem be of high quality and worth the money I pay for it. The buffer feel like a PC on roids with the kit intall on a Makita. At low rpms the buffer has lots of vibration but it runs smooth at the higher rpms.

How well does it work compared to a PC and a rotary?

The PC feels like a toy now compare to orbital/rotary buffer and I would say the orbital/rotary buffer is just as good as the high speed rotary minus the buffing marks. But who knows maybe after I detail a few cars I might hate it, as of now I am likeing the job it is doing so far.

Heh heh, oh jeeze...just when I'd almost forgotten about that Dyanbbrade thing somebody else says he likes it Keep us updated on how you feel about it.

Bringing this back from the dead..How do you like it??

 

[gbackus]

I have one, and really like it(you can search for my other posts about it), but I'm switching over to the edge 2000 system permanently and the machine is not compatable with the edge 2000 system. If anyone is interested in it I can sell it with a couple of pads for much less than it retails for.

How much George?

Scott,



I have one. While it does "work" slightly faster, I think you'll be able to live without it, especially since you just got a cyclo. My estimate is that, given a stong polish like OC, the Cyclo cuts 10-15% faster than the PC whereas the Dynabrade attachement on full speed cuts maybe 25% faster than PC (more surface area and larger through, though much slower jiggle/DA action. Given the "awkwardness" of the whole deal, I rarely use it...though I do plan to measure cut of the OC, Cyclo, and Dynabrade with my new ETG so I can come up with more definitive percentages.



When I really want to go fast, I simply use two PCs...one in each hand and I control the power with a switch I trigger with my foot. This method is without a doubt superior...though my hands are real tired by the end of the detail. I'm currently making a device that will securely hold two PCs. :woot2:

Ohh....I don't know. How much experience do you have with this thing, and how much with a rotary? Because if we're talking "compounding" here, I'd say it cut rate is more like 1/3 of the rotary. If we're talking "polishing", then maybe 1/2 the rate. IME anyway.
