Diamond Ball Cleaner
Hi-
I'm sorry, I got tickled reading your question about ball cleaners. I priced a few for my gameroom and, not being familiar with the prices, was floored by the $$$.$$!
I got on U-tube and watched a video on how to make your own cleaner. I THOUGHT that was pretty chinsey, but the more I thought about it, the more interested I got! So, I made one. I guess if one can afford several thousands of dollars for cues, then $700 or $800 for a cleaner isn't much, however, after I got mine put together (costing a total of about $52.00), I found it to work as good as ANY pro cleaner I have seen operate.
My "Machine" works best when cleaning about 7-8 balls at a time. Not as nice as the Diamond, however, I can play a lot of hours down at the "hall" for what I saved doing this.
Just my two cents, guys. But it REALLY works GREAT!
Take a look.

I have $37 into mine (buffer and misc electical items). I had the bucket, so that saved me $3. I can max it out, and works like a champ. I usually do two sets of 8 balls, for about 5 minutes to a cycle.

Love my Diamond home ball polisher!!
I read about how to make my own pool ball polisher AZ and I decided to give it a try. I have less than $50 in my ball cleaner/polisher and it works great for home use. I usually clean the balls a couple of times a month and so far my home made device has worked just fine. I know the Diamond polisher is the Rolls Royce of ball polishers, but I couldn't see spending that kind of money when my home made polisher does a good job.
