Waaay too much money for an absolutely fantastic machine. You an easily find one for half that price, but most definitely make sure it comes with a backing plate, or purchase one seperately.

Waaaay too much money for a worthless piece of junk. Speed alone means nothing, it has to be able to take some pressure in order to accomplish anything. You need amperage so that the machine doesn't bog down at the slightest hint of pressure.
