Time Warp - 240fps DA GG 6" ROP

[DaC]

I thought you guys would think it cool to see a DA polisher working in slow motion, so I made this footage while polishing a Fiat Bravo this weekend.
The length of this recording is 30s which result in this 240s video.

Sorry about the poor quality but my camera can only do it @ 320x240

I hope you guys enjoy it.

Reminds me of polishing porn for some reason

I use a smiley face to mark my BP's :)

LoL I've never thought it that way....

Yow...that panel and your hands vibrating is giving me a headache

I kind feel my forearms in a little pain today....

Question is... is that normal or maybe I'm using bad technique ?

[SonOfOC]

Normal. All the da polishers vibrate like crazy. Always make sure you still have all your teeth after polishing.

I've never been able to utilize the DA more than a rotary mainly because of vibration.

I've never used a rotary but I'm really interested on buying one, I just don't have the $$$ right now as I want to go with a flex PE14 from start.

Anyway, along with vibration I guess the action of pushing the DA against the panel makes me fell very tired after some hours operating a it.

what speed setting are you using?

This message is aimed not only at you, but anybody else who uses a PC style DA polisher. After seeing the ridiculous degree of vibration these tools put out, made evident to me by your slow motion video, arguments towards buying one of these inexpensive models vs something with consideraly less vibration like a Flex are sounding like misguided penny-pinching to me. This is a health issue, plain and simple. This degree of vibration causes acute nerve damage. With short term, infrequent use, this neurological damage is generally self-repairing. But if you push it, the damage can become permanent. It's not even worth screwing around in my educated opinion. It's a matter of the physical health of your limbs. Do yourselves a favor. Put some more $10 bills into the power tool cookie jar until you have enough saved up to buy a safer, and yet more effective tool, and then please do so. You will thank me later.

Speed 5 and the disc was pretty well centered.... Speed 6 mudar be crazy

Although I agree with you, sometimes it's just not an option to jump straight to a flex. But I think everyone doing it for money should consider buying a better machine as soon as possible. Anyway, I have my doubts if a flex will.be much better than that, as I think this excess vabration is due to the eliptical motion + pressure applied + panel flexing hability summed.... And not the machine balance issue alone.

+1 ..... took the words right out of my head and expanded on it nicely.

Maybe there's a way to solve this vibration issue, maybe tunning the counter weight ?

WOW please even though you think you comment is helpful advice it's not polite and I took it as an insult please understand I can't afford a flex and don't plan on owning one even though I'd like to. I only detail my personal vehicles and I own a griots and I love it. I see videos and post where mike p. and nick use a pc soo please try to preach to them about the damage to there health is as well. I work in a oil refinery where I load 1xx,xxx bbls of gasoline and other chemicals on ships, vessels, tanks, trycks, and railcars that have benzine, h2s and other health related issues. Guess I should quit because in the long run no matter how safe and cautious our procedures are to protect you and your health it's not a healthy environment it work.

How was he offensive???

Guess I read different than others still I stand by what I said
