This doesn't have to turn into a pizzing contest between spinners......
But please be accurate. The low speed on the Donkee 3/4 HP is 450 RPMs. The one speed Vertex 1/2 HP ( 3/4 doesn't appear to be available) is 435 RPMs. They're almost identical, so I'm not sure where the "useless" comment is coming from.
As far as Donkee vibration, I stand by my comment the issue is overblown. I've performed hundreds of complete resurface jobs using the Donkee, and have never produced a flat spot, or experienced other vibration fallout issues. I have too much money invested in a large arsenal (and too many friendships I value
) to put balls at risk with a faulty spinning device.
I do use my Donkee secured on a B&D workbench, but it's not bolted down. Maybe that helps do the trick.
Again, I tried the Innovative and it's a quality spinner product, just like the reports I've read about the Vertex. But I value the high speed Donkee option for non-sanding activities, and I wouldn't want to give that up. As you said, that's why they sell different brands.
