Did you get a Host machine Edger? You'll love it.
BTW, I call the Mikey 175 "the BEAST" it cuts like a hot knife. Almost makes it worth the 3 slipped discs in my back and the mild hernia I've received from it.
"the beast" for stone work has already been trade marked by the Bent Handlebar Company.
yeah, that cimex df, you know the 180 lb. one that spins at 800 rpm with real diamond pads, is a real piece of junk. mardie, go on youtube and watch some real polishing videos with real stone machines. the results are so much better.
and rmember John very rarely does a side by side comparisons with other machines. I wonder why.
