    Current setup: Not 'cutting"' it

    As the tittle suggests, My aresenal does not cut it. Currently I'm using a PC with LC 7.5" Orange and IP, followed by a LC 7.5" green with FPII. On Black it still leaves a bunch of swirls. So I will step it up by getting a rotary. My questions are: 1) Is the Hitachi a good unit? 2) What pads...
