WOW! Bring it over so I can see if it really works. Looks like it needs a turbine installed on top.

Holy crap! Spinal Tap would be so proud! You now have an amp that goes to 11!
I would really be interested for you to post your thoughts after using it for a while.
In the meantime, I'll call Nigel.

I coudn't quite see it - seems to be a little toy bottom right of photo?
What is that giant yellow thing with the mettalic dog leash attached?
I had seen something like it last year at our woodworking show, and did actually want to follow up this year - but no -one had any. I have a concrete driveway I want to polish up. Can I borrow that yellow monstor?
They are cool.

to control, dust control is good enough (I'm spoiled by Festool/Abranet/Fein combo). It removes an amazing amount of material with an agressive paper like the Klingspor 240 grit. I can't wait to refinish a teak kitchen table I have.
240, 320, 400, 600, ultrafine Scotchbrite gives a finish on solid surface like glass...incredibly flat. Ohh and sooo quiet. Just the scuffing of the paper and the soft humming of the Fein Turbo in the back-ground...its hose plugged in straight..perfect. And fast! With a 6mm stroke and 4 x 5' pads, it makes short order of what I've thrown at it so far. AEG German motor, and great, big fat bearings and a serious counter-weight set-up. All done very well. You can see some of that here:

That will be tempting if anybody tell the have a 'sander'..lol.
It just glides like a dream. Really easy to nudge in any way you like. Now, having said that, I have no idea what it would be like with a pack of 80 grit on an oak table. What I really like about these guys, is that they stuck to a standard
5" disk. None of that specialty cut idiocy.- Vote on answer

Probably to late but try the Red Rooster if you want something different or the CharBar downtown. I love the boneless wing and a side. I'm out of town until the late afternoon, where are the installs?

Park Lane (countertop) and Church Str ( brass foot rail for a bar I built.) I'll be long gone by early afternoon, off to Wyoming for a repair.. (somebody dinged a top)
Red Rooster, eh? I'll try it.
