Default Re: Working with my new (to me) machine

In my opinion, the cut stroke (against rotation) is more agressive than the "color" stroke. In actual fact I don't think there is much difference in the amount of material (metal) removed or burnished.

However, something no one ever mentions is the fact that the color stroke (with rotation) will better remove stuck compound from the surface...therefore, used as the last stroke, it will clean up the surface. And furthermore, if one is having a hard time removing the stuck-on compound, it actually helps to overload the wheel with compound (contrary to what you would think...).

Did you really say Twelve Horsepower? Holy cow...
