Fine machinary. (Rating: 5.00)
Review : Humming along under heavy use for a couple years now. Smooth, quiet, powerful, and a heck of a deal.
UNBELIEVABLY Smooth! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I received this buffer as a gift. I cannot express to anyone who hasn't seen this machine running the smoothness of this unit. It is so unbelievably quiet and vibration-free. The quality sticks out all over it. The shafts are heavy and smooth. The unit is heavy-duty, well-finished, and powerful.This is typical Baldor quality, and if you've ever had any experience with Baldor motors or grinders, that says all you need to know. These units are US-built (Fort Smith, Arkansas). That's real important down the road (in case you ever need service or parts). But... the way this machine runs... I don't anticipate needing either service or parts! The 1800 rpm is nice. The edge of an 8" buffing wheel travelling at 1800 rpm is really zipping by. I'd be uncomfortable with the 3400 rpm model (because I'd be afraid it'd heat the buffing compound too much). Once you see this machine running, you'll know what I mean. This is a machine you could use day-in, day-out, and still get a lifetime's worth of use from it. Unbelievably fine quality!
