Like title states looking to get my hands on a orbital buffer. Just checking if anyone has one they would part with. Let me know what you got and how much. I'm looking to spend around $100. Thanks

Do you have harbor freight near you? The tools are off brand, but they are insanely cheap. I pickup up a DA buffer that performs at the same speeds as higher end name brand DA buffers for $60. That was after a 20% off coupon, which they pretty much always have in the weekly ad. Even with shipping you'll come out way ahead compared to a $200+ DA buffer that you'll use a handful of times a year!

That's a pretty good idea, I have 2 HFs nearby never thought about DA from them. I was just on their site looking at air compressors. I will check and see what they have. Thanks

That is the one I bought. It does everything a $200 DA does. The only drawback is that its heavier and its a little louder.
