    Great diagrams. I never knew how these worked before I got one. When I got my PC, before trying it out, I was a little surprised to see the backing plate just mounts to a free-spinning spindle in a bearing, but sure enough, throw a pad on and plop it down on a panel, and you'll see the true dual action motion. It's really quite neat. SUPER simple mechanism. No clutches, no special gears, just physics.

    Here is my nxt purchase, Have you used one yet ?
    No but it should REALLY rock! If I were a salesman, my pitch might be:

    "She got a 3/16" stroke.

    She dual mode- Lemme tell YOU! - really knocks 'er down in a hurry.

    She got .4 horse.
    A lot more than most her size, heck- more than most that'r twice as bigazz-er!

    She'll do 12,000 RPM.

    Now- how many do you NEED?!"

    Random Orbital Diagrams

    For some time now, I have been working on an in-depth paper about the random orbital. Like many of you, I check out several detailing sites. Occasionally, I stumble upon a question pertaining to the durability of the "clutch system" used in the random orbital. This is a seemingly reasonable concern, as most paint polishing enthusiasts do not typically worry about how the machine does what it does- they just want it to work well and for a long time!

    So, I thought I would post up some diagrams I plan on using in the "paper". Now- for those of you that are wondering about the clutch system.... don't, because... There are no clutches in the random orbital.

    Here are four diagrams that will hopefully help you understand how the movement is created:










    And if these diagrams do not help you better understand the random orbital... then I am in a HEAP o' trouble!
