I bought one from them at their Nationals booth in albq this year, I believe it was $99.00, it's really worth the money as the first cut in resurfacing the Lane Masters particle coverstocks. From experience, their Reactives cut just as easily as any other manufacturer, for those I use Abralon and Scotch-Brite.
Hope this helps,

If you can't get the Diamond pads or they're too expensive, you can try Trizact pads. I fond them fairly decent for modifying some of the LM particle balls. Not perfect but quite good. They're a lot cheaper than the diamond pads at about $2.50 each for the regular ones and $4 for the fine white ones.

I agree with Jeff, the Trizact pads are alot cheaper, but take a little more elbow grease, the diamond pad cuts rather quickly. I was going to buy two diamond pads at the time but they suggested I needed only one due to the life expectancy of the pad. I've resurfaced at a minimum of 20 Legends particle balls since March with no signs of wear of the diamond pad yet.
