Re: Question on the Griots Orbital Buffer
Make sure to throw away the spare brushes. Griots costomer service informed me if you replace the brushes you void the warranty.

Re: Question on the Griots Orbital Buffer
Do remember that the GG polisher spins faster than a PC, so when you're dealing with pads or compounds that have speed limitations (such as MF), you may want to go half a speed lower than recommended for a PC.

I'm not sure, right now I think I'm going to stasrt him up with a basic beginners kit...
As he makes progress and learn, then I will get him involved onto some other things, but for now it's just to break him in

Seriously?
I thought that if they provide the brushes is with the expectation that you can replace them, right?
This doesn't make sense, it's actually kind of funny!

Does the manual have instructions on brush replacement, or does it not even mention that a replacement set is included?

Re: Question on the Griots Orbital Buffer
The manual does not even mention the brushes. GG Customer Service explained they have tried to get the brushes eliminated by their manufacturer, but to no avail. Silly I know, but why even take the chance of voiding your warranty by replacing the brushes when in most cases Griots replaces problem units with a new polisher.

Replacing the brushes, is not a big deal, I've replaced the brushes on my FLEX XC 3401 with no issues, and that's just about it, when it comes down to machine failure.
I own a PC7424 that's been with me for 10 years and brushes and a new cord have been the only two things I've had to replace
At least on the Flex it's a plug and play type deal, no soldering or any special skills needed
