Thanks for letting me give it a go.



Mike

So where did the dirt go, It is amazing ain't it. I don't have a op machine yet, but i do use a cimex and it has made me a lot of easy money. JG will be proud of you Mikey.

Where does the dirt go?

I'll take some pics of the five pound chocolate pads I've been producing.


I "feel" a lot better OPing with cotton then Cimexing or 175'ing with fiber pads.

You'll get over that in time too, vEEgs.

just a matter time and you'll be stretching a synthetic a MILE long....

Did you get or do you have a washing machine dedicated for pads?

or do you sneak those nazdie things past Paula???

I got a sample of the new pads Tuesday. They are real nice. I have to cough up the cash for the shipment before the middle of December. They are 30% polyester 30% polyamide (microfiber) and 40% cotton. They last for ever and hold a ton of soil. They will run on a Side By Side as well. I have one strange looking pad I sent you Mike. I don't know what to do with it. They say it's for cleaning. Who knows from Vietnam.

I have designed a lock for the head of the Defender I will cut them on the laser next week. All Defender owners email me and I will send you one no charge. It will not fit the CX.

I shipped your pads Friday.

I made the changes on the bolts. I went with the button head like you thought Mike. They work good and it's an easy change.

I started my Thanksgiving week school account today with my new Orbitec with wheels. The thing is flying through the rooms faster than my GLS, and the carpets are looking great. I also have been using SnapEncap all day, for the first time, and it's doing just as good as any of the other GOOD encap solutions I have used. It seems to dry a tad bit faster than any of the others.

You need some labels really bad. Those pink cover come off. I really like the display. My place looks like a machine shop. Right Marty. The tank caps came in and they are real bad. I sent them back. The rerun will take 4 weeks.

Hey, Clark:

How about a lock for the Brute? Mine broke after a few weeks. CCS told me they had been discontinued. Loading the machine with the head flopping is a hassle.

I told you Mike....


It is quite the system for a lot of things.

I'm glad you have opened your heart to really give the system
a chance to see what a great addition to your tool box it is.

Take Care,

The next 3 week's San Antonio Dolly

:wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Les, I don't know your Dad but I LIKE HIM. That is one fine machine.

And John, the head lock on the CX was real nice and very handy. But when the plunger got bent it would not retract. It would be locked in the upright position. I would like to make a stronger version.

Not even close Jim.

Glads are a cotton/poly blend while the above are all synthetic. Glads have a totally different loops structure too.

I would be interested in these pads to use with my ez glide. I like the ez glide so much thinking about selling the conqueror machine

Your wright Phil we do have powder coating problems at times. The chemistry and the heat has to be right. If not it peels right off. I'm sorry your machine was shipped with a problem. All I can do is repair it. If you will send it to me I will repair it. And I will through in an up grade. I'll pay the shipping as well. And that wrinkle powder is not cheap. That is some high dollar stuff.

I'm with you Greenie. I pay $0.63/lb for mild steel, $6.40/lb for Aluminum and $3.82/lb for SS. Aluminum weights 1/3 that of Steel and SS is 1.35 times the weight of mild steel. A machine in Aluminum would cost $3600 and one in SS would cost $4300. I will build machines any way my customers request. The fact is it will not clean any better.
