    Yeah that machine vibrates like crazy. Sometimes my hands get numb. I find if you keep the speed at 5 and under, take care to center the pads as well as possible, and grip the top of the machine instead of the side handle the vibration is not as bad.

    I don't think its that bad at all...I think if your hands actually get numb, then they are not strong enough.

    I don't think that the vibrations are that bad.....nowhere near as bad as the cheapie walmart Orbital that used to use. I do tend to get a blister from the handle by the end of a detail though. I'm going to try it without the handle next time I use it.

    Its good you like the PC!!

    As far as vibrations goes you can get gloves that are padded and do help reduce them.

    I notice alot of guys who do it for living dont even wear them, i dread to think of the long term damage.

    But yeah, i should think any hardware store should be able to point you in the direction of there virabtion reducing gloves, check google too.

    Better to be safe them sorry!! The thing is once you have PC, unless you start to help out your friends you tend to start to use it less when the swirls are gone!!

    Very interesting! You like the PC more than the Cyclo? That might be the first time I ever heard that. Can you elaborate on why you feel that way? What would you say are the advantages of the PC over the Cyclo?

    Thanks,
