What do people think of this orbital?

I have only heard a few people talk about it, but they really like it.



I assume that most any of the normal pads would work with it.



Honestly, I think the Cyclo would be a better buy. I think it has a little more grunt.
 
Well it looks like the lowest speed is 4300 RPM, isn't that a little bit high of a starting RPM for a polisher? I would honeslty stick with the PC, or the Cyclo, that seems to be getting some attention now!

That was my first impression--maybe I will look again to see if it is a random orbit.



Stand corrected -- probably somewhat similar to the PC. How do the specs match up?
 
I'm not sure are you comparing apples to apples?
