Looks like you will need a drive board as well,not sure the speed it rotates..

Yes it is , so long as you can source a pad holder ,and possibly a brush for it , and make up your mind fast , because it will be gone in no time ,, postage is way over the top , try shiply.com, will cost £30 tops.

200rpm, and as Jason said perfectly suitable, if you can get a drive pad holder.

Definately check out how much for a pad holder 1st.
Some I was looking at without one and the pad holders can vary drastically in price for different makes.

You could pick one up from a suplier mate and looks a good price to me :)

Woodbridge commercials sale the brushes & drive boards for them around £65 i think

try & find one on ebay with the drive board to compare. that machine with board will run in around £140

Think ill keep looking and get one with a drive board. I dont have any exp of bonneting so would feel more comfortable with a slower speed rotary, they all seem high speed on ebay.

can anyone point me in direction of a supplier who sells reconditioned units?
