Hey guys..
I am looking to buy a ball spinner for the first time and I am just looking for some feedback on what an affordable, good quality, durable piece would be.
I have looked at Vertex, Donkee and Innovative; and the Innovative is a little out of my price range. I was considering the 1/2 hp by Vertex. Donkee seems like a nice piece too but I would just like to hear some feedback from personal experiences, and some info from those of you who have more experience with them.
Also, is having adjustable speed all that important? I don't see where the innovative 2 speed piece is worth the extra $200-300.
My Proshop had a homemade spinner (that I used to use for free) out of a washing machine motor, a deep plastic sink tub, and had it setup with a drain, seal under spinner cup, and faucet with a snake attachment which made it real easy to wetsand, as well as do everything else. I sent an email to Vertex about getting the material (tub, foot pedal, spinner, etc) and making a similar homemade version to where I could run the waterhose through the garage to the faucet and use a piece or two of drain pipe to drain into a 5 gal. bucket at the side of the tub, but didnt get a response.
Either way, I don't really need all that jazz, but I was considering doing it to make resurfacing a ball much easier. I think I will pass on that for now and just settle for a spinner, a flower pot from Walmart to use as a splash guard, and get a $2.00 Spray bottle.
However, after pricing for material to make a homemade tub spinner it equalled to around $430 (with a starter kit of sanding pads, and a few polishes and cleaners), where if you buy the professional job through innovative its well over $1,000 with no additional equipment
.
Later,
