[kleraudio]

Jim

[Old Pirate]

Yes, indeed. Maybe if Joshtpa wants to meet up and we can try out our new machines. Only problem is where?

[imported_themightytimmah]

You`ll love it Jim - 3 years of abuse on mine and it still runs like a honey.

[kleraudio]

Good to hear Tim, Im looking very forward to using it, hope I get it by the weekend. Hey Tim, what kind of setup do you have on your Makita as far as pads and backing plate?



Jim

You have the same title as my thread when I ordered my makita from CT.com for $177 shipped. It got here in like 3 days and it is a wonderful machine.



Lovin it!!!!!!!!

[kleraudio]

Sweet Brandon, I really hope it gets here by Friday! We got it for the same price too.



Man I cant wait, now I just have to figure out what pad system I want. Edge or LC....



Jim

[GlossyTundra]

Edge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kleraudio]

you think the 6" would be fine? How the heck do you wash those pads?



Jim



I am REALLY leaning toward Edge right now just for the fact of centering is so easy.

Would the Sonus DAS pads work on the Makita rotary?

[SuperBee364]

Grats, Jim! Did they have it in stock or is it backordered??

[kleraudio]

No they had the Makita in stock, the Hitachi is backordered.

Got my makita from coastal tool...needless to say it was a great deal and that bag that comes with it is hardcore alot more heavy duty than I was expecting. the pads and BP that come with it are pretty much useless though.
