Over the last 10-15 years I built 3-4 bucket style polishers with dividers such that I could only clean 4 balls at a time. They were all so loud I would use them in the garage. Further, not having an offset pallet, I had to manipulate the balls mid cycle onto a different axis to get all surfaces clean. This necessitated numerous trips out to the garage to get a single set of balls done. Anyway, my buffer just gave out. In the past I had considered fabricating a dual platter setup, but after adding up the price of all the parts, I always threw together another cheap polisher. This time I decided to bite the bullet and buy the Diamond polisher. It's so much easier, quicker, and quiet enough I can leave it in the pool table room. I wish I picked one up sooner. I'm pretty sure it will outlast me.
