Please note the only 110 volt buffers we recommend are heavy duty 1.5hp or greater. Some medium duty buffers can still be used by changing to a 11-1 ratio gearbox (reduces rpm to 156, item #BM13). Most 220 volt 175 RRM buffers will run the UFO without a problem.
What is the UFO?
Its an attachment that goes on a regular heavy duty 1 1/2 hp 175 RPM buffer and turns it into the fastest sanding orbital sander. It can be removed for ease of transport or to use the buffer with a standard pad driver.
What does it do?
- It cuts 3 times or more FASTER. The orbital unit adds 50% more weight (42lbs) while the geared orbital action doubles the distance the abrasive travels increasing sanding speed while reducing scratches and swirl marks.
- It can sand fast enough to practically REMOVE CHATTER MARKS!
- It PRODUCES A GREAT FINISH!
What makes the UFO better?
- It uses regular 16 screens, PSA Sand Paper, and double backed sand paper. No special paper required.
- One large pad floats and blends over uneven floors without hopping.
- You do not need to carry another large piece of equipment - just use with the buffer you already need.
- The buffer handles like a normal buffer. You do not have to push it around.
- GREAT DUST COLLECTION!!! Our patented concept of drawing the dust into the brush driver and through the unit is very efficient when used with sand screens or sandpaper with cut holes. Sand right up to the wall!!
- UNIQUE SANDING PATTERN THAT IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER ORBITAL STYLE SANDER - ABRASIVE TURNS AT 175 RPM WHILE THE GEARED ACTION FORCES AN ORBITAL MOVEMENT. CREATES A DIFFERENT PATTERN EACH ROTATION FOR A TRUE NONREPEATING ACTION.
-Its Faster! 3-6 times faster than a regular buffer! So you save time. -Dust collection! Only system that can sand to the WALL!
-The 16 edger? You can screen right up to the wall. Less time spent in finish edging.
-It has ORBITAL ACTION!
-Hallways with cross grain wood can be sanded with your large machine and then finished with the UFO. Easier than edging the whole hallway again and again!
-Borders, parquette, inlays, herringbone and more are simple! Sand and screen as usual. The orbital action takes care of the normal problems with swirl marks.
