Has anyone seen this or have one.
Do you think it works good enough to spend $140+?

Interesting and expensive! It may do the job, but I have a hard time justifiying the price when it costs more than my PC did.
That being said I`ll probably order one next week.:nixweiss :D

Seems like a waste of money...
$150 is a lot for something that you can do by hand and doesn`t take a long time either. I have the backing on my pads falling off before the actual foam on the pad is torn up and gunked up.
Hmm, I don`t think this contraption is for PCs... I think it`s for rotary buffers that will spin the pad inside over what looks like a whole bunch of little spurs. Says it doesn`t need water, so I think this is just a very fast and convenient way of spurring a rotary pad. I think running a PC in there would start tearing things... :nixweiss

yhea, I think it is for rotarys. It doesn`t take water? Hmmm that might be a good thing. One thing with spuring rotarys is they let off a cloud of dust and most of the chemicals used in compounds you don`t want to breath in, as some are suspected carcinogenics (sp?). If it is in a closed container like that, then they wouldn`t be floating around.

It says it doesn`t need a water supply, not that it doesn`t need water... it might have a cleaning solution bath below.
Yes, some dusts are dangerous. I remember my SMR says something about silicosis! :eek: The thing that worries me now is that I seem to remember SMRing my friend`s car one day, then having a short but strange coughing fit later that evening...:eek:

Bah, it`s just a bucket that you can spur the pad in.
