Past tense...HAD the same owners.


Back to the group buy. Who are you, who represents the "us" you refer to, how many units constitutes a group buy and who will be providing the after sales support on the machines?


I haven't used the V2 machine but as Woodie mentioned it is apparently a step up, or rather evolution of the old version. One thing I have read was something to do with faulty power cords on the V2 machines. I am sure Siya or Sean would know all the in's and out's about that one though.


Off the top of my head and comparing the v1 G220 to the DAS6, I would say the DAS6 is more comfortable to use due to it's slightly more slender body (easier to hold). The speeds, correction ability, etc all seem to be pretty much on par. The DAS6 has a smaller head area iirc which might make a difference when polishing in tight spaces and under mirror's, but aside from that there is little I can recall off hand. Almost all of my correction work is carried out by rotary so my experience with the G220v1 is limited. The DAS6 can also be had for slightly cheaper at a just under the R2k mark with a set of 3 pads and canvas carry case.

While the pads may not be the greatest, they get the job done and are affordable to replace (around R70 for 2 iirc).


For around R3k you will also soon be able to get a great package deal on a DAS6 machine incl polishes, lots of pads, etc...Details have still not been finalised but some of the guys already know what is likely to be included in the kit
