What Bonnets stick to velcro? - cookiemonster - 08-10-2016
I have just bought an orbital polishing machine that I intend using for stairs but as it is a polishing machine is uses the bonnets that you wrap around the drive plate. As I want it for carpet cleaning I am going to super glue Velcro to the drive board and would like to know what pads will fit to Velcro. Also it is only 110 w power so what pads will it be powerful enough to spin.
Thanks

If you have some good and grippy Velcro, most any bonnet should stick alright. The trick is to find some really gnarly Velcro.
BTW What size is it?

Im not sure if it will work as it has 3000 rpm speed. Will this burn carpet? Thanks

30000 rpm would normally be pretty aggressive. In an orbital pattern, the agitation to the fiber should be safer. However I would still recommend using caution. Test first before you decide to use it as your regular go to for stairs. But I think it may be OK since the oscillation pattern is not as damaging as a rotary would produce.
