Ok heres an update.
I had to sand a small kitchen today with alot of edger work. I Usually go around after I 80 with the edger and remove the swirl marks with my orbital.
So this thing had a killer workout today.
I have the 6" and it more then takes care of the swirls. Most ros's struggle but not this thing. It eats them up!
But I found myself struggling alittle to hold it one handed so I came up with a 2 handed grip. It is a tough learning curve as its so low and theres nothing to hold on to!
Good thing is the power is there. More so then in any other ROS IMO. But harnessing the power is going to take additional $$$.
The abranet is rediculously awesome but it kept flying off when the backing started to get warn out a little. I hope it didnt eat my pad already.
Im ordering the protectors and the soft pad.
I cant believe how powerful this thing is! Its like a mini edger! AWESOME!!!
I think getting it customized to ones task is very important. Its a good thing its so compatible.The stock pad is so flat that I have to lean it to get the lowspots of the flooring. Im in need of a softer pad or a 1/4" thick interface pad or something.
Also the vibration was pretty pronounced with the stiff pad. I actually had to slow it down one to stop the vibration.
