    Heya guys, wanna get a buffer, not sure what im looking for really. I see 'viktor' on ebay a fair bit. And then how do you attach the abrasive cutting/grinding disks to them for say, cutting back laitence? Ive never used one or seen one being used. Thanks

    Victors are good. I have a numatic nmd. You need different drive boards to attach to the underneath. Not got a grinding disc myself but have a drive board which i attach sanding discs to. Took me ages to work out what i needed for it when i first got mine. Dead funny too watching someone use it for the first time. My bro in law went flying across the room when he first attempted to use it. I was laughing for days much to his displeasure. Lol

    yes mate, really difficult to get them, I have ones that should fit but they don't fit all machines due to the shape of them as I found out..

    An Str 701 is the best machine, for multi tasking.
    Has all sorts of attachments, inc a dust skirt, which works !
