Whoa whoa whoa... no need to jump on Junkman, I can promise you the guy has MORE than enough experience and know how. I suggest maybe going back thru some of his MANY posts on this forum including his videos where he shows the proper use of a PC, demonstrates proper use, etc.

And TECHNICALLY speaking thats not really a fail safe, thats simply a function of the design of the machine. The rotation is simply caused by the centrifugal force of the oscillation and nothing more... the relation to pressure stopping the rotation has nothing to do with a "fail safe" theres not a mechanism in the machine sensing pressure and telling the pad to stop spinning, its simply the fact that with sufficient pressure the force of downward pressure is matching or exceeding the force of the centrifugal 'throw' of the pad. This is why at 3k opm or lower it won't cause more than just light pressure to stop the rotation entirely, but it requires much more pressure to stop it at 5-6000+ opm.

In any event, not cool just to join a forum to stir the pot and throw rocks.

If you think you can't completely cut thru a finish with a PC and an aggressive pad/compound/approach you may want to do a little more research. Used irresponsibly a PC can do damage, its not easy, but it can happen. I recently came across an instance where a gentlemen buffed right thru the paint on the fender of a Nissan Rogue. High speed, too much pressure, an aggressive pad, and improper technique - its rare but it does happen.
