RE: let the games begin.. - Carn - 13-10-2008

Sheesh dude, take it back and try a replacement. Like I said Rustbucket has the exact same machine and it has never skipped a beat, actually I think he mentioned it did slow down once and then speed up again but since then it has been fine Iono

If it makes you feel any better I managed to kill Siya's Makita yesterday....not cool Hammerhead

it works fine when i hold it in the air and run thru the speeds
as soon as i hold it down on a panel then it works fine thru speed1,2 and when i get to 3 then it works ryt then ol of a sudden its like the machine goes up to 5 and it stays like that even if i drop it back down to1 Thinking

i phoned the guys wher i bought it and they said i need to bring it in so it can be REPAIRED Argue

RE: let the games begin.. - freerider - 13-10-2008

The AM yellow pad is a medium cut, Megesh and I do most of our swirl removal with a Lake Country light cutting pad.

Just take your time working the product, and see what results you get that way
