Ibrid Nano
My new Rupes Ibrid Nano arrives Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to it. Been wanting one since they came out. My question, has anyone cut down an interface pad and sanding discs for for the 2" backing plate? I've been thinking about this and thought I'd see if anyone has already done it and if it works OK. Also, what was the process of cutting them down.

Power is not there. Also, a 12mm throw with such small pads is counter productive. 5mm or 8mm makes much more sense. Not sure why I bought it in the first place.

Re: Ibrid Nano
Actually, there is rotary mode which works much better, but still, I feel it's severely overpriced.

Re: Ibrid Nano
I'm with him on this. I find the 12mm orbit useless as it will stall just looking at it. I use it as a rotary for wheels but that's about it. I feel I got ripped off on this one. With a forced rotation unit I can polish just about anywhere so I dont break out the nano for small borrow places I just power through them with the flex

Re: Ibrid Nano
Ripped off is right! That's why I sold it right away. Got back most of the most of the money, but still lost some.

Re: Ibrid Nano
In direct answer to your question about sanding, the Nano is not good for that. IMO if you're looking to use it to do headlights or what not, best to get a 3M Kit with the foam backing and adhesives pads for your electric drill. Keep in mind too the Nano splatters like crazy. Go light on any polish and I always where eye protection.

Re: Ibrid Nano
Maybe this high-jack was a blessing in disguise. I think I’ll refuse the package tomorrow and contact Autogeek about a refund.
