Also, it doesn`t come with any cloths or towels? What type would fit?

I could be wrong, but it looks more like it would be a rotary... which is a whole different ball game than the PC (random orbital)

Thats definately a rotary.



In my experience, there`s not a lot out there thats similar to the PC, except maybe a Cyclo. Those cheap buffer jobs from Wal Mart and places don`t have the power or the precision the PC has, nor is it easy to find anything else that uses foam pads...



Try finding a used PC...
