Samich and Klindex are the same company-sure I get why you would use a power flyte machine.But to each his own-These are the 2.5 hp version-they run strong and smooth. And they look professional.On Mon, May 1, 2017 at 1:00 AM, Tony Deluna <tndeluna@gmail.com> wrote:The samich looks exactly like the klindex I have with a planetary head. Great machine for Med size jobs.I've completely rebuilt mine been through 2 Transmition 1 planetary head and a about 4 clutch drivers. But for the hell I put it through it's been a great dependable machine for small to Med size jobs.I had to put a new motor in it and completely rewire it because an idiot electrician wired me into 440 power and blew it up. His response was, "oh sorry dude". Time is money and sometimes you got to hire who you can get. He was unlicensed, big mistake on my part. Lots of smoke and a loud blast!!!But it runs like new and it strong.The Samich looks like the same machine. I would highly recommend it if it's The same machine under a different name.On countertops with wide-open space we use a regular 110 floor machine with a 35 pound weighted pad driver. It could be dangerous for the unskilled with the handlebar extension but once you get used to it it's all good.Often with the lesser skilled techs it's a two-man job right before the polish is ready to pop because of the bind.I have not yet but I plan on removing the extension bar on one of my machines to make it a dedicated countertop polisher so it's always a one-man operation.I use only the power flight classic 110 floor machines for polishing and minor floor hone & grinding. I have several of them and they last for years and we beat the hell out of them.When they appear to burn out, you only need to change The start and run capacitor. Then they continue on for many years.I never understood why several other companies charge $1800 or more for the same 110 machine that does the same thing.The power-flite classic is less than $600.It works for me, that's my 2centsTony DeLunaWe are doing a lot of kitchen counters, tub decks and vanity counter tops.I considered the Legend for the Islands.On Sun, Apr 30, 2017 at 11:49 AM, Stuart Rosen <mail@stoneshine.com> wrote:I like festool a lotBut if you areDoing only stone I would work with a samich legend countertop machineSent from my iPhoneThanks Baird, what models do you use. Which paper do you think s the best? What are fleeces for?On Sun, Apr 30, 2017 at 6:27 AM, Baird Standish <bairdstandish@gmail.com> wrote:I use festool sanders. I use the Rotex for aggressive Sanding and the orbital 150 for finishing (say taking the surface from 100 to 800). We usually just use diamonds to remove a surface because the sander is slow. But the orbital will give you a really nice honed or satin finish. Also the only way to go with corian. I connect to their hepa filtered vacuum and run dry. I have been using Sia papers and fleeces. I haven't used trizact papers, but Stu says they are great. By the way, the festool sanders also work well on brass.B________________________________________ From the desk ofBaird StandishManaging PartnerFacility Specialists, LLC15 West Highland Ave. Suite EPhiladelphia, PA 19118Phone: 215-732-7505Fax: 215-546-9160I think someone posted about a sanding machine for marble?Maybe it was Stu?
