Re: Is Griot G9 Vibration too much and cause finger/hand pain?

I meant to add - I’ve not had the opportunity to try a Rupes machine, but if vibration was a real concern and budget allowed I absolutely would take a look at going that route.
If getting a Rupes, I would start by going all in on their system (that is: their pads/compounds/polishes) and really dial in your technique before moving away from that and trying other pads/etc.
One thing that comes up when people go to a long throw Rupes from a short throw machine is fighting pad stall - usually it seems it’s a matter of making sure you’re keeping the machine level and watching your pressure. Again - not a Rupes user, just a long time observer here.
