Is this normal ?

[duy_k2000]

This is my first time using the G100. It seems to shake a lot, left, right, up and down. Not sure if this is a normal. I used only about 10-15 lbs of pressure . Any feedback is appreciated.

It's normal to the best of my knowledge.

What you're feeling is the "random orbital" portion of the "dual action" feature of this machine. It doesn't just spin the pad around a stationary center axis like a high speed rotary does, so this "shaking" is to be expected.

Think of it this way: a rotary spins like the earth on its axis, but the G-100 adds a fairly substantial wobble to that rotation.

I was using w8006 pad with m83.

Thanks for the quick response, Mike. At least now, I am feeling more confident. I am gonna try to work on my car this weekend and show the result later.
