DA RO with the least vibration

[usdm]

PCXP

G110v2

GG6



Out of the three, which machine do you find has the least amount of vibrations?

I dumped my PC for the GG, and I am not looking back. I can`t comment on the G110 though, never used it.

I did the same, the GG6 seems smoother yet more powerful than the PC. My PC has been demoted to waxing and 3" pad duty. Porter Cable makes some fantastic quality tools, but they are severely out-gunned by the GG6. I`ve read about too many issues with the Meg`s unit.

I use a Griots and use mechanics gloves that are made to lessen vibration. They so make a difference. Centering the pad well also helps.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I pretty much stopped using my old pc for paint work in 06 as it was wreaking havoc on the nerves in my fingers. But now that I see all these great reviews on the microfiber da system, I thought Id give one of those newer machines a try. But its got to be gentle on my hands.

I had me a pair of the mechanix as well, but I didnt find they helped me as much as I hoped they would. Ive got small, arthritic hands, so that just made things worse. Im hoping the GG6will be a good solution as ive just made the purchase. We`ll see how that goes.

Best polisher in this regard is probably the Cyclo, but the pad choice is a bit limited compared with the others.

That was definitely an option I looked at for a good while, but I couldnt justify the expense at the time. Plus, as you mentioned, the lack of pad options. I still might get one just to help round out the tools I have, but thats for the future.

I have a Cyclo also, and a nice pair of earmuffs!

Switched from PCXP to GG6 and not looking back for the very same reason as you are asking here, far less vibration. Also, try experimenting without the handle on it, I`ve found much more control and less feedback when I`ve ran it without the handle.

Im usually more comfortable controling machines by the head and the base. I feel like i get more control that way. But even then, the shock was messing with my hands on the old PC. Very much looking foward to trying out the GG6; should be coming this Wed.

The Makita BO6040 is a very smooth running machine. Heavy, but smooth.

I too run my polishers without handles 99% of the time, including the Griot`s. Much less vibration that way IMO.
