Chicago Electric D/A Polisher Vibration question

Before taking it back and buying another one, which backing plate and pad you are using? The gg6 is a much smoother machine and worth the extra money purely on that factor alone. Not to mention the exceptional customer service you get with the folks at griots. That said, the HF DA is way more powerful than the 7424xp but if you aren't using a quality backing plate & pads then that is most likely the culprit.

Try the Griot's 5 inch backing plate paired with a flat buff and shine pad and make sure it's centered perfectly on the backing plate. Also, there's no reason you should ever really need to go over speed 5 with that polisher.

I have a hf machine its smooth but extremely loud.I have 3 gg6 that need repair.So for now 48.00 gets the job done you just have to get use to it or bring it back.The hf is like driving a corvette versus the gg6 which is a cram puff smooth cadillac.

I use the LC flat pads and their backing plate. I have too many new flat pads to switch now

The LC Flat pads? They will serve you well.

I never knew what I was missing until I tried LC Thin Pro pads I received as a sample. It was a very different experience for the better. My plan now is to slowly convert to the thin pads through attrition.

I agree the thin pads work so much better IMO on a HF especially
