Sanding gyvlon

[Old Mod]

When I bought a couple of years back they had a lot of refurb stuff that doesn't appear on there at the mo.

Ok kool. Been half chasing one for a while, used to own one years ago, not even sure what happened to it haha
But it is time for another with the type of work I've been looking at recently.
Thanks for your help Goz.

Yeah black pads are the coarsest pads, white are the finest then they increase through to black, the darker the colour of pad, the coarser they are.
My drive pad was damaged when I first bought my machine, and lent it to a builder "friend" before i had a chance to use it. He returned it after using the incorrect grinding disc for the drive, and wore the plastic base of the drive flat, so wouldnt grip normal pads.
I told him to replace the drive plate, but instead of paying 120 noted for a new one, he bodged a wire bristle pad on the bottom. It works, but not as meant to be.
I was lead to believe from looking tonight, sanding pads require a different drive plate?
Can you post the site you use please?

Add weight to your buffer by placing bags of addy or leveller on top of it.
You'll get sanding discs of all grits to fit your buffer that stay in place in conjunction with any polishing pad, white, black ,blue it doesn't matter from any soft flooring trade counter.

Double sided? I got the 430mm ones with like a felt/Velcro backing, my drive board has Velcro pads on the bottom?
