Using a vibe sounds like a lot of work ... every day ...
Is the appeal because it can do things much, much faster than a rotary? Better capacity?
Once I start to cut and hopefully learn how to make cabs, I will have to have one .... but it just seems like a lot.
Randy was stating you have to check it at least three times a day. I work from 8-5 ... is my not being able to check it three times a day going to create problems?
Woof .... opened my own can of worms. Just when I thought I had a comfort zone ... ;D
As always ...

Hi Julie,if you check them first thing in the morning and last thing at night you can run a vibe 24/7 with one check in the middle somewhere.If I'm running late either way I just shut it off and resume when I can.The first stage gets the most attention,during the pre polish and polish stages I check twice a day.
