Vibration with my new Griot's

[nickgodfrey]

So I got my new Griot's polisher the other day and used it for the first time yesterday. It worked great, especially for someone who's only used cheap buffers. The only thing I thought was kinda weird was how much it shook the crap out of my left hand on the loop handle. I'm wondering if this is normal to a real DA, or if this is something I should be concerned about.

This is normal with a true DA IME.

My GG felt like a jackhammer. Luckily it stopped working a couple hours into it's first use... I say Luckily because when I called Dwayne at AG about it to exchange it the two of use decided I would switch to the Flex 3401. MUCH smoother operation. Review-FLEX XC 3401 Dual Action Orbital Polisher. Post number 7 I did a little comparison.

I suppose I would be negligent if I didn't add the following. Many people love their GG and swear by it. That was just my experience.

I just picked these up to aid in vibration reduction from my DA. I find that my hands get alittle sore after polishing with my PC.

It will buzz you a bit on the higher speeds. Taking care to confirm the pad is centered helps some.

If you have the money for the Flex 3401 VRG, get it. I have never used it but its big talk on here about its power and how it doesn't vibrate like crazy. If you can't get that you'll just have to use to using what you have.

It vibrates quite a bit. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I had the pad dead centered. The gloves are an I teresting idea, I might consider that. Not exactly in the market Flex just yet, but it might make the wish list some day. I'm glad to know there's nothing weird about this, because I'm pretty excited about the work I'll be able to do with my new polisher!

I took the handle off of mine, you might want to try that.
