This will be an interesting class as I will not only cover the latest in tool technology but also tool history including early pad options...


Early wool cutting pad

The first foam buffing pad developed by Walter Cotton in 1965

The foam is disintegrating as this buffing pad is 53 years old!

From wool pads to the first foam pad to the next foam pad on the market, (that I know of), the W-1000 Soft Buff

The backing plate was plastic and glued to the foam before the pad was turned on a lathe type machine to make sure it was true.

Note the claim that this version is the original fiber-free foam pad building off the legacy of the Wooless Wonder.

The Traditional Orbital Polisher

People describe this as the handle kind looking like a car steering wheel. It has a simple on/off button for go or no-go at one speed.

I am interested to see you teach two classes in two different rooms at the same time! Hopefully they get the schedule finalized soon, as my 'pre-planning' gene is really kicking in!
